We drove south for about 45 minutes and we got to Cheddar Gorge, a beautiful gorge in Somerset. Underground, is the river Yeo, the largest underground river in England. As it lowered, it left caves in the limestone. Cheddar has been making cheese since the 12th century, and this is where the cheese called cheddar got its name. The caves were a perfect place to store it.
Cheddar has a lovely village, many caves you can explore, and numerous places to buy (and then eat) cheese.

That looks lovely. I hope one day to go to Gouda :)
I could have told you that 3 days in Bath was going to be a bit much. But Cheddar looks gorgeous.
