Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, Dairy and Craft Village

We are the only cheesemakers left in Cheddar. The whole process takes around 8 hours from start to finish.
You can watch us during the various stages as we transform our rich, local milk into award winning authentic Cheddar Cheese every day of the week throughout the year.
Our viewing gallery allows you to watch our cheesemakers practice their skills, a DVD is also playing throughout the day to enable you to view the process from start to finish in about 25 minutes.
From Easter until the end of August staff are on hand in the Visitor Centre to help and to answer questions.
At other times of the year our staff in the shop will be happy to help you.
After seeing cheese being made you can treat yourself to a free taste at our taster bar and then visit our shop where our Cheddars plus local pickles, biscuits, hand crafted cheese dishes, cheese knives etc. are on sale.
