TRANSPORT - to and around Cheddar

There's a new version of this web site! Click here to go to it now.

By Car

To plan a driving route to Cheddar, visit the AA Route Planner web site. Most people approach from Junction 22 of the M5, from where Cheddar Gorge and Caves are signposted.

By Rail You first need to travel to Weston-Super-Mare or Bristol Temple Meads (Click here for train timetables). Thence proceed by bus (126/826 from Weston, 672/674 from Bristol) or taxi.

Cheddar's own station on the Yatton to Wells line did not survive the Beeching axe of 1963 but station buildings remain in the village and much of the old line is now a long distance footpath.

By Bus

The best route depends on the time of day of your arrival, whether you are travelling up from the South West or from elsewhere, and the timing of trains between Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare where you can pick up the 126/826. Although the 672/4 bus route from Bristol is longer, there are more trains to Bristol Temple Meads. Our only other bus service is the 668 which goes to Wedmore and Street (for Clarks Village and adjacent to Glastonbury).

You may also wish to consider long distance express coach services from National Express to Wells or Weston-Super-Mare, for which prices and booking facilities can be obtained in the panel below.
