  • Award-winning, peaceful and adults-only park
  • Overlooking the Mendip Hills; River Yeo flowing through the grounds
  • A short stroll to Cheddar village and Cheddar Gorge
How is Cheddar Bridge Touring Park gorge-ous? Let its flow of former guests count the wheys: it’s scenic, award-winning and overlooks the Mendip Hills; it’s a former Cheddar in Bloom winner for its viewsome flowers, and it has the River Yeo flowing through it – just look at those pics. If you’re a peace-loving peep, you might also brie chuffed to know that Cheddar Bridge is firmly for ages 18 and over, so no footballs should bang against your holiday home wall at six in the morning (unless your other half really can’t help it…). Once you’re nice and rested, it’s a short stroll from the site to comely Cheddar village, simply striking Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips, the limestone hills that are part of a Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman Ancient Monument and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Primitive grass tent campsite (large)

Liked: Great location being able to walk into Cheddar. The site is well maintained and facilities were immaculate. We camped on the tent field for 5 day. Additional facilities including a fridge freezer, microwave and kettle are provided at no additional charge which is a good feature. Being adult only was also good. Will definitely be returning!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Stunning location, staff were so friendly and always on hand if you needed something, the site was well maintained to a high standard. The facilities very clean. The location we were given was by a lovley stream with ducks and ducklings on which got the sunshine most of the day, perfect location to relax and have a BBQ. Beautiful scenary with lovely walks along the strwam and into town, with easy access to Chedder gorge which is worth a visit. Would 100% recomend this site.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Peaceful and well thought out camp site with great dog walk just a few yards away but off site. Location fantastic and right next to a beautiful stream. Staff super friendly and helpful, even though it was just a one night stay. Lovely hard standing pitch next to grass area, just perfect! Great amenities on site, although the number of shower units was a bit limited but did not mind waiting. Had a lovely walk through Cheddar and up to Cheddar Gorge - did not realise the site was so close to so many attractions!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: We stayed for 9 nights and absolutely loved it. Superb location, 5 mins walk to Cheddar village centre including a small Tesco and medium Sainsburys, and 15 mins walk to the start of all of the Cheddar Gorge shops and attractions. The campsite itself is next to a river and a lovely church, there are views to the hills and there's a dog walking area a couple of mins outside the gate. The site is busy, but peaceful, very clean and well maintained, and the pitch gave us plenty of room for our car, caravan and awning. The toilet and shower block is superb, the best we've seen, absolutely spotless and well designed and laid out for privacy and dignity! The wider area is lovely, rural, but an easy drive to Wells, Glastonbury, Bristol, Brean etc.

Local attractions

Cheddar Gorge and Caves first, of course: you could spend days in one spot just gaping at the gorge, but there’s also climbing and caving to be had, wandering around the heart-stopping stalactite caves (do stand and gawp here too), and puffing up Jacobs Ladder and to the Lookout Tower – it’s only about 300 steps to the tower top… Cheddar Bridge Touring Park is roughly halfway between the seaside at Weston-super-Mare and the tiny city of Wells for at least a couple of days’ worth of trips, with Bristol and Glastonbury also within a reasonable drive. Dive into Bath, also nearby, for Roman remains, spas and Jane Austen; the literature, arts and children’s literature festivals are well worth a look too if you’re in town at the right time. Hikers and twitchers have the Mendip Hills and the Somerset Levels to keep them occupied, with the Mendips also well known as a climbing and caving centre. Look out for peregrine falcons and marsh harriers in both areas; to find out more about snipes and other feathery sorts around these parts, the RSPB has a reserve at West Sedgemoor. Savvy shopper sort? Congratulations: Wells has a market every Saturday and Wednesday, and the biggest car boot market in the south-west is on every Sunday at Winchester Farm, only a quarter of a mile from Cheddar Bridge Touring Park: bring an extra suitcase for your goodies.
