Another quiet day as Sandra and Marie still feeling poorly and Malcolm starting to cough and splutter also!!! We went to Wells and explored the cathedral and surrounds. This cathederal has become Sandra's favourite one visited so far. Smaller but perfectly formed!! It has a mechanical clock that is the 2nd oldest in Uk and shows the position of the planets and phases of the moon.
Then on to Cheddar gorge where a glacier carved out the limestone cliffs during the ice age into a gorge 138m deep in places. There are lots of caves and a 9ooo yr old human skeleton was discovered here in 1903. Along with the caves and canyon, Cheddar is also famous for the nations favourite cheese ( cheddar ofcourse!!) And it has been produced here since the 12th century.
