What to do in Wookey Hole

Activities, attractions and tours

Just outside the city of Wells is a place called Wookey Hole, where you can go and visit underground caves. The whole area is very rocky with a gorge (Cheddar) nearby which is amazing. There's a small village, with shops built up against the cliffs, and in a shop selling clothing I saw this. Not a problem you get in many changing rooms!
