I passed thru Cheddar Gorge just a few weeks ago.
The idea was to have a quick (1-2hrs) look around the caves, then continue our journey.
Firstly, parking is a nightmare.... but if you get there about 9.00am the carpark is unmanned and you're home & dry (also no provision for tickets or clamps).
Secondly, it's now a "full" ticket that they sell, which is really a full 4-6hr tour of the caves, Jacob's Ladder, and the clifftop walk. No provision to just pay for the caves.
So we had breakfast there gave the caves a miss, and drove to Stonehenge.
Re: Butlins....
every summer/Xmas season I worked there in my school/student years.
Worked in the Entertainments Dept (not a Redcoat !) as a stagehand, rigger, lighting technician, stage manager (of Pig & Whistle Bar .... does this still exist in Minehead ?), and part time film projectionist.
I think I had more disposable income then than now !
.... and a new influx of female campers would arrive every week.
Heaven.
mmmmm where did it all go wrong ?
