Cheddar Gorge lies on the edge of the Mendip Hills and is the largest gorge in the UK. They are world famous for their spectacular stalactites and stalagmites, whose beautiful colours are mirrored in pools of water. These caves also fired the imagination of JRR Tolkien, author of the "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy.
