Cheddar Somerset Map

About Cheddar

Cheddar, a name long synonymous with its famous cheese, unfolds with a quiet grace in the Somerset countryside. It lies 3.1 km east-south-east of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 115°T, OS grid ST 459 532), and is situated north-west of Draycott village. The village itself, a collection of stone-built homes and ancient lanes, seems to draw its character from the dramatic limestone gorge that gives it renown, a place where the Mendip Hills fall away into a landscape of shadowed clefts and sunlit pastures. Here, the air carries the faint, earthy scent of ancient rock and the distant bleating of sheep, a timeless pastoral symphony. The ancient parish church of St. Andrew, with its soaring tower, stands as a sentinel over the village, its weathered stone a testament to centuries of quiet devotion. Even the modest stalls of the weekly market, when they appear, lend a fleeting, vibrant pulse to the enduring stillness of Cheddar.
