    Oh my goodness, WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! At first, I thought you had a drone! Those views! I've been flying through Bristol airport and driving through the gorge for a whopping 23 years and we've never ever done this walk. EVER. I really really want to do this. I see there were some kids in the film so wondering what my chances are of getting E up there! I know we'd get as far at the Cheddar shop!! Also just loved the bluebell woods, and the descent into the village. Also I see they've now got signs in KM (not just miles!) Thanks so much for making this video. It's given me a whole different view of the area I never would've known about had it not been for South West Sundays! Definitely one for the bucket list!

      Thanks Alex! Yes, the views are just so spectacular!
      I hope you get the chance to stop at the gorge sometime when you drive through to stretch your legs after a flight!
      I did not include the clip in the video but I think it’s advisable to take snacks or a picnic or at least a drink on the walk! I took nothing and regretted it!
      I hope E goes up there too! Lots of kids were doing the walk!
      The Cheddar shop is so good!
      Oh yes, I had not thought about the signs having KMs aswell as miles. That’s so good with all the international tourists that flock to Cheddar.
      Thanks so much for this great comment Alex!

    Thanks for taking me on a walk while I am laid up for a while… I haven’t been to cheddar in a long long time and certainly can’t remember a lookout tower, that’s impressive.. I’ve never heard of Somerset day on May 11th either so that was interesting, as for walking boots over trainers.. give me trainers everyday.. I can’t stand walking boots 🤣🤣👍🏻 thanks for sharing

      Thanks so much!! I hope you recover soon and can soon get out and about! Yes, the lookout tower was great - extra icing on the cake of the walk! I love having Somerset Day! It reminds me of all the wonderful things there are to celebrate about Somerset. The trainers were a lot comfier than my walking boots for sure! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

      Hu Faith, yes, I was just thinking that about the subscriber count too!! I love numbers like that!! 🤣 The subscriber numbers are shooting up fast at the moment. Next stop 789 🤗
      It really has the wow factor doesn’t it?
      Yes, it’s quite nobbly underfoot in places.
      I definitely had to watch my step!

    Gorgeous walk Louise, I don't think I've ever ventured onto the sides of the gorge - only ever driven through it with my family years ago or stopped to look at the bottom of the Jacob's Ladder. Must make some time to visit again soon, thanks for taking us with you 😃

    Hi Louise! The views of the gorge were amazing - it looks like a very enjoyable walk. I think lumpy-bumpy is my new favorite phrase for a rock-filled path!

    • @SouthWestSundays

      Thanks so much Donna!! I agree! They are really stunning views.
      That’s fab to know that your new phrase for a rock filled path will also be ‘Lumpy Bumpy’.

    That was tremendous Louise! A great celebration of Somerset Day - and happy Somerset Day to you! I loved that music 🎶 that you used in it. It really set the mood. Fantastic views over the gorge. What a walk! Although I have been to Cheddar village and the caves I have not done this walk nor seen the tower either. Really enjoy this. Great stuff 👍 Cheers Paul 😊

    Love this place, not far from me must go there more often but the crowds put me off. Parking can be tricky in summer. You sometimes get boy racers whizzing up and down there. The views are amazing though

    • @SouthWestSundays
      @SouthWestSundays  Рік тому

      Thank you Shirley! Yes, it gets quite busy doesn’t it, particularly in the village. I have not really visited in the summer but I can imagine the parking must get tricky then. It was super busy last Sunday. There were lots of motor bikes roaring through the gorge that day. 100s of them and many stopped off in Cheddar for ice creams! Must have been some sort of ride out. I agree - the views really are amazing!
