where to go? Forest of Dean vs Cheddar (Somerset)

Can't decide where to go for our hols between the above two.
There is 2 of us and no kids or dogs, like going for days out sightseeing, leisurely strolls that sort of thing.

Anyone been to either of those?

 

Not much at both places .

 

Cheddar.there is loads close by:Wookey Hole,Wells,Glastonbury,Cheddar Gorge.A great area.

 

why not go to FoD for 2 or 3 days then on to cheddar, not too far apart

 

At Cheddar Gorge there is less chance (slightly) of being bummed by a local telling you to 'squeal little piggy' as he does so.

For either take a banjo and learn to say 'Yarp' and you'll be fine

 

Im too lazy to repack and unpack the van. Him at home doesnt travel light!

 

Been to both and both great for being away from it all but if I had to choose then I know Somerset would take it. Glastonbury, Wells and cheddar. Go up the Tor if you go. 3 counties visible from up there.


Was there last week at this camp site

Adult only, been twice now and can't recommend enough

 

You can chase the goats around cheddar lol but watch out they get right upon the cliffs.

 

That place looks nice. I prefer adult only, will seriously consider that one.

 

Not been to FoD but can recommend cheddar.

Caves are fun to walk through and the cheese shop is fantastic.

 

id do cheddar...there are some great buildings and pubs nearby in axebridge...

 

I'm a yeocal round ere the best thing if e does Chedder is

Real scrumpy. They ave been ere for yonks.

And we speak posh we does.

Ave a good un where ever ye goes.

 

Cabbiemans site is good. Try the Hunters Inn out of Priddy, its an experience. Roger the landlord is a character.
What everyone says above, try FOD for a day out, Symmonds Yat,do the ferry there, sculpture walk, Chepstows nice.
Oh, don't have the Butcombe Ale at Hunters unless you are near the toilet block.

 

Nice scenery in the FOD but not a lot to do, esp at night, Clearwell caves are good tho
I would go for Cheddar

 

Definitely lots to do around cheddar.

 

Cheddar, woods have biting insects.

 

It's not the insects you need to worry about, it's the locals.

 

Thought I would google Chedder news to see what's happening and this is the first story theat comes up on google for me.

Not a lot happens in Chedder.

Strange realy as I only live 20 mins down the road, I can't remember the last time I went there, Chedder not the lap dancing club, we got them in town
We dont appreciate the beauty we have close to us and it's usualy full off Grockles.

 

Which ever you choose try not to be too conspicuous, especially when you walk into a pub.

Think Slaughtered Lamb in An American Werewolf in London and you'll understand.

And when people like Rusty try to talk to you try not to laugh.

And check your change.

 

Thought this moight get you in the mood...
