The sun made a very rare appearance on Saturday and so we quickly grabbed the opportunity to make the most of it, starting with a rather strenuous climb up
Crook Peak, just outside Bristol. From the top, there are outstanding views stretching as far as Glastonbury Tor (just try and ignore the motorway view from the other side). It was breezy and fresh, the sky was an absolutely stunning shade of blue. We stayed atop this wonderful spot breathing in the pure air and taking in the glorious rays of sunshine which warmly rested upon our wind-blushed faces.
We followed up this invigorating trip with lunch in
Cheddar. If you haven't been there, you really should, the drive down into the gorge is reason enough. Very soon, huge, towering walls enclose your path, their breathtaking presence only improving when you stumble upon the quaint village centre with it's mill pond, trickling stream, rambling stone buildings. And of course, we mustn't forget, the wonderful
shops packed full of the local cheese!
