Event Information
Join this Give it a Go Students' Union outing for a gorge-ous day trip to Cheddar Gorge, named as Britain's second greatest natural wonder! See some spectacular scenery and maybe even get yourself some cheddar cheese!
What should we expect at Cheddar Gorge?
During this outing the team will be leading a walk, but there could be other activities as well. You can pay to go into the caves on the door if time allows which we would highly recommend as they are a great experience. The Gorge also houses the Cheddar Sweet Kitchen, which makes traditional sweets in-house using pre world war two methods and is well worth a visit!
