    Tips

    Hiking

    This is a challenging 5 mile (8km) route along paths. Several stiles and kissing gates, rough walking in sections and some steep climbs. It is not advisable to attempt this walk in foggy or very windy weather. Good footwear and fitness is required.

    Safety in Cheddar Gorge: Please do not stand under cliffs as small rocks may fall at
    any time. Use only footpaths signed for the gorge walk at the top and bottom of Cheddar Gorge – it is dangerous to depart from these paths.

    Hiking

    Nice, easy hike. Suitable for the whole family. Due to the nature of the ground, there may be some slippery spots. Who wants to save the entrance fee can start the round with the opposite hill and descend at the end of the Jakobstiege.
