Mendips Raceway — Attraction in Cheddar

I was looking forward to a fun afternoon with the kids but was quite disappointed at the lack of enjoyment we had! The junior stocks is completely boring as is the special stocks. I would have expected more excitement as it was a bank holiday and many families were there who, like me, were expecting to see more. There was no banger racing, except for the vans but that was tame at best! No real action and on the whole not worth the money.

Lovely warm drinks and food available but we brought our own. Toilets available. Fun adult smashing racing. Never seen anything like it. Made me scream a few times. There was Junior race but that was just ok. Kids loved rolling down the hills which was hilarious. Raod go going there was bumpy and rocky but don't be put off as it was a one of a kind of experience. Free...
