Doors 257 – Doors of Cheddar Gorge (Part II)
This week I am posting the second selection of doors from a trip I made to Cheddar Gorge last October at a launch event for the declaration of the Mendip National Nature Reserve. While I was there, I made a little bit of time to take a few photographs of the shops and houses in this famous narrow gorge.
A short site visit to part of the new Nature Reserve took us to the village of Priddy a mile or two up the gorge. The heavens opened and the last two pictures capture the moment pretty well. I hope you enjoy the doors:
So that’s yer lot from Cheddar Gorge, I haven’t quite decided what to do for next week, but I have tons of doors in my archive to choose from, so I guess it will be a bit of a surprise for all of us. Have a great weekend.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post, and in his Sunday round up.

What a great name for a place on a gorge…”Jacob’s Ladder” - perfect..
I like all the buildings there is a serene and scenic charm to them.

Thank you. It is a strange place, all the buildings are alongside the road, nothing set back… the nature of a gorge I suppose.

I once had the idea of moving to Priddy and went to see a property there. As soon as we arrived the heavens opened up, but when we left the weather turned out nice again. No more to be said is there?

It must be about 30 years since we were there with our then small son. I remember it being a hot sunny day, but my husband recalls our son being stung by a wasp on the top of an open air bus. We’ve never been back.

I don’t think it will have changed at all since then. It seems to be stuck in a time warp.

It is much nicer in the sun. The event I was at actually had a cheese cutting ceremony as part of the celebration, and we all had a bit of it, instead of a cake.
