We don't really need a reason to eat cheddar cheese, but National Cheese Day is as good an excuse as any!

The half term heatwave is here!

Here are our three top tips for staying safe in the sun:

☀️ Slather on the sun cream and reapply throughout the day. Don't forget a hat and sunnies for extra protection!
☀️ Stay hydrated and bring a bottle, especially if you plan to walk around the iconic cliffs of Cheddar Gorge. We also have a range of delicious chilled drinks in Gough's Café.
☀️ Stop in the shade for breaks! With a constant temperature of 11°C, Gough's Cave is the perfect place to cool off.
