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.
