SAT NAV USERS BEWARE!
Some Sat Navs are taking visitors up Birch Hill, the road to the left of the chip shop. That's the wrong road! You want the road to the right of the chip shop, The Bays. The graphic shows the approach from Tweentown on a TomTom. When you arrive, please ring both doorbells. If there is no response, please have a walk around and come back in 30 minutes or so. We're probably out shopping, collecting the kids or otherwise tied up. If you need more information about routes to Cheddar, visit the AA route planner site to help plot your route.
