Sedgemoor District Council is asking anyone who is considering visiting Cheddar's beauty spots to be think carefully about their planned trip and to be considerate to the community.

The district council has confirmed that the toilets it owns in Cheddar are open, but the main message is that there are very few facilities for anyone visiting for a day trip.

The toilets at Dag Hole, Station Road and Cliff Street Car Park will all be open from 8am to 7pm, and there is signage to remind people to socially distance if queuing.

Play areas/playgrounds within parks remain closed. The majority of visitor facilities including hospitality facilities remain closed, apart from some takeaway services from a few premises.

Cyclists are being asked to be aware and respectful of shared spaces and paths, and note that pedestrians may not be aware of their presence, so are asked to let them know if they are approaching at speed.

Going on holiday and visiting second homes is still not permitted. Campsites, holiday parks, hotels, bed and breakfasts and other holiday accommodation will remain closed, except when providing accommodation for specific reasons, such as for critical workers needing a place to stay for work. Overnight stays in camper vans are not permitted.
