Cheddar

Hey,

Cheddar Gorge was amazing. I spent all the day exploring the caves. :)

If I was here during the start of the industrial revolution, the waterways around Cheddar would have been chockablock with barges, full to the brim with Iron ore, Limestone and other precious matter; kick starting the industrial revolution.. Cheddar gorge was formed millions of years ago; it was originally a tropical reef, we know this because of the fossilised fish's skeletons' and other debris. Slowly over time this built up and after the ice age, Cheddar gorges' cave systems were formed; the water has now dried up.
