You can buy combined tickets for the caves and other attractions. If nothing else, do this circular walk: park near the top of the gorge where there’s a free gravel parking area on the left, marked as Black Rock on google maps (51.28750, -2.74417). Take the footpath opposite, head back along the top for great views, then down ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ and back up the gorge to your car. There are other walking ideas at www.cheddarwalking.org.uk/our-walks
