Tripmates - Karthik, Siva & family
We had purchased online tickets included a visit to the Gough Caves, museum of pre-history Cox's cave (Dreamhunters of the early days) and a walk up The Jacob's ladder. Parking is not free and you need to pay and take parking tickets before the Cheddar caves.
Gough caves is calcium formation and quite interesting. The place is well maintained. Though it looks quite colourful, at times, it looks single lighting could have kept it quite better and for photographs. One can go around and have good time for close to 1 hour. Having visited many such caves, this one was similar and was pass by for us.
Next, is the shop - Cheddar cheese is up for grabs. Then, the Museum of pre-history- quite educative about the hunters and evolution of the place. The Cox's caves plays some videos on the cave walls and is also interesting to go around - 15 to 20 minutes.
The Cheddar gorge view walk - around the place looks to take around 90-120 minutes. It starts with the climb on the Jacob's ladder - around 200+ steps and then take left to get some good views.
Overall, a good day outing. We had some fries and juices before starting back to Basingstoke. If someone needs a lengthier day, they can trek around the place on various trails across the Cheddar gorge and valley views. One can also go to Bath same day and complete it as well.
