Day 28: Cheddar to Camerton

We started our day by ambling through the little village of Chedar (yes, where the cheese comes from). Then our first view do Cheddar Gorge...



On then through the gorge, which is startling. 



The walk led us gradually up hill and tho we felt a little out of breath as we steadily climbed, the goat (including very young kids) took it in their stide as they nimbly climbed the side of the gorge. 




On leaving the gorge we followed the grassy path as it climbed gradually upward through the Mendips




And we reached a path through a lovely estate...




And on up till we met our next trail, the Limestone Link.



Which took us further up into the Mendips





And lovely views down toward the valley below, the villages and the Chew Valley Reservoire



We continued to follow the Limestone Link through fertile rural country-side



And stopped to chat to some of the locals.... This little calf seeed very friendly!




We reached Camerton in good time and are moving east on the next stage of our trek after the initial North East track through Cornwall, Devon and into Somerset.
