This cave structure is well worth a visit with some stunning views of different mineral deposits and the cave topography setting an interesting route and different variances in geological formations. The audio guide which you get with your ticket really gave you some depth into the history and forming of the different aspects of the caves. There are a couple of guides walking around who where more than happy to answer any questions regarding to the caves. There are numerous disabled parking spaces around the gorge and wheelchair bound people would be able to view nearly half the route through Gough's caves with slopes enabling the way. The entrance fee is a little on the steep side although it does allow access to all the gorge's attractions and you have a year on the ticket to return and complete your visit. The price we paid was around £19 - £20 per adult although booking the day before would have given us a 15% discount which is well worth doing via the internet website.

This is a great place to visit. I took my 6 year old nephew and his grandma & grandad down to Cheddar Gorge for a day out. The weather was great when we got there. The caves were great. They even store the cheese in the caves to mature them. The cave walks are great for the older and younger child in us. The village has souvenir shops, sweet shops & ice cream shops and CHEESE shops. One shop has 10+ cheeses to try and buy, including the Cave mature which is very strong. There is one little ice cream shop going up the hill on the right-hand side with flavours to die for... Rum & Raisen (proper rum flavour for the adults), Turkish Delight & many more. Who cares what the weather is like, your underground...

Really nice to walk though these amazing caves! Dog owners, you are allowed to bring your dog with you as you explore as well, we brought our beagle with us and we're fortunately told this is ok. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to visit. Inside you have an array of lights guiding you through and a location where they let their cheese mature. Jacob's ladder is only round the corner and an amazing little restaurant too called Cafe Gorge, they had amazing sandwiches and jacket potatoes with cheddar cheese of course. Check those out :)

A lovely day out! Got the full day ticket that includes most of the attractions. Visited Gough’s Cave, Beyond the View, Museum of Prehistory, Cox’s Cave and Jacob’s Ladder and Lookout Tower. Gough’s Cave is the most impressive. Amazing sights, good audio tour, beautifully lit and tastefully equipped for modern safety standards so that wires are well hidden and handrails don’t look too out of place. You really get a sense of what it was like before all the ladders went in! You get to see the cheddar cheese maturing too.

Fascinating cave experience delve into the history of its discovery and exploration and be astounded by the beauty of mother earth at work over the centuries. The limestone features here are as breathtaking as any you can see in such an accessible cave The going is relatively good with a number of steps and damp areas to navigate most people will have no problems.Its a fairly bug cave so there is no feeling of claustrophobia and is well lit Thourghly recommend the audio guide to get the most out of your visit

Amazing! Large caves on different levels with audio set commentary at different checkpoints (easy way to scan each checkpoint is to orientate the audio set landscape so that the black square is on the left, then hold it close to the checkpoint scanner). Lots to look at and well lit. Here is where we purchased the Day Ticket, which is £23.95 for this cave, Cox’s Cave, Museum of Prehistory, and Jacob’s Ladder. A fair price I think as doing everything keeps you busy for a good few hours
