    Cheddar Facts – Did you know…

    1. Accidental Cheese
      According to local legend, Cheddar cheese was first made by accident. A milkmaid left a pail of cheese in the caves, when she came back it had turned to cheese.
    2. Britain’s Favourite
      50% of all cheese consumed in Britain is Cheddar.
    3. Cheddar Man
      The oldest skeleton ever found in the UK was discovered in Gough’s Cave, Cheddar Gorge. He lived during the Mesolithic Age, around 10,000 years ago.
    4. I Eat Cannibals
      Experts from the Natural History Museum have also found evidence of cannibalism and human skulls being used as drinking bowls. It’s believed early humans started using the caves 13,000 years ago.
    5. Middle Earth
      JRR Tolkien named the gorge as the inspiration for Helm’s Deep in The Lord of the Rings, the site of a huge battle between the men of Gondor and Saruman’s army.
    6. Strawberry Line
      The area was once a major supplier of strawberries. It even had its own railway line, nicknamed ‘The Strawberry Line’, to transport the precious fruit to cities like London and Birmingham.
    7. Sheepish
      It’s one of the few places in the UK where you’ll find wild sheep. Incredibly rare (less than 1,000 survive), Soay sheep were re-introduced to the area to increase numbers and control the grassland.
    8. History Lesson
      In 2006 construction work at the Kings of Wessex Academy unearthed 2 Roman skeletons. Further excavations revealed the site of a Saxon royal palace.
    9. When Will I Be Famous?
      Matt and Luke Goss, the brothers behind 80s pop band Bros, briefly lived in the village while growing up.
