Travel guide Cheddar Gorge
Cheddar Gorge : The Michelin guide review
The village has given its name to the universally known English national cheese. According to legend, monks carrying milk during a pilgrimage to Glastonbury took shelter from a storm in the Cheddar caves and found that the milk had turned into a tasty cheese, later named cheddar. More factually, it is believed that Irish monks found a means of preserving surplus ewes' milk, of which there were many flocks in the region in those days.
