Gorgeous Gorge
First up, come off at Junction 22 M5 else face a narrow run in a small village if coming off at Junction1 via A371. One camper needs guiding to the site across the road that is Adults only as seems they not happy about Children on site, during half term at a weekend? But all the kids for our 5days were fine, so the lady and gent need to look at Adults only sites for their camper van! No play ground or dog walk on site. The dog walk and playground are off site, the play ground too far to allow them to go on their own, but it a few mins walk a way and very good. Good walking access to to Tesco, better opening hours than Sainsburys due its smaller size. Left out of the site, under bridge, up steps over bridge straight on to Tesco, turn off earlier to Sainsburys and the short cut through the houses to the Gorge keeping off the main road. Site well drained, showers are small but OK, clean tidy and well maintained site/loos etc. Whilst we were there they shut the grass pitches. No queues at loos by the way. Karting down the road is great, but book in advance. We did Street for shopping at the Clarks Village, reasonable bargains the SS Great Britian which again great wet or dry as Bristol not far away. We booked in advance Cheddar tickets. Rip off. The Gough cave is the best and only one you need to do, Coxs cave small and dressed up. Do the circular walk backwards and come down Jacobs ladder its free that way, the lookout Tower was closed, the View Beyond, was free as its a drones eye view of the gorge plus a bit of history and again the Prehistory museum free as again not staffed. So really for our £60 family ticket didn't get that much value. The gorge walk is not too hard but the surface is not flat, very lumpy in places but great views. This is a great site. Ideal to access the gorge and at night its nice an quiet for a walk in. We ate at the Riverside and that was fab, food and service. Tuckers do great eat in fish and chips. Only down side was nothing on site for the kids, but they growing out of the play ground thing, but it does lend itself to a place they can hang out.
