A trip down south for our final weekend away of 2027, heading to Cheddar for some lovely autumnal walks on the edge of the Mendips.

Booking opens: 13th September 2027

Price: TBC

Places available: 30

Can I bring my dog? Yes, but it’s £50

Is bedding included? Yes, but you might prefer to bring your own pillow too.

A trip to Somerset (cider country), we’ll definitely be heading to Cheddar Gorge, but we can also climb Crook Peak, Beacon Batch, or head to Westbury Beacon through the nature reserves. Cheddar is a lovely village full of pubs, but if you’re yearning for the sea you can visit Weston Super Mare to admire the vast expanse of mud.

Weekends Away are only open to Ramblers members. You will need to arrange your own transport, although the group will try to put people in touch to arrange lift shares. The nearest train station is in Weston Super Mare, and there are buses that run to Cheddar.

We have exclusive use of the bunkhouse from 16:00 Friday afternoon, but you are welcome to arrive at any time after that. Some people like to travel early to make the most of the day, while others prefer to travel after work. The finish time will depend on how long any walks on Sunday take before returning home. We have to be out of the hostel by 10:00.
