Cheddar is unique. Its distinguishing feature is the natural phenomenon of Britain's largest Gorge. The Cheddar Yeo in Gough's Cave is Britain's biggest underground river, and the Gorge Cliffs are Britain's highest inland limestone cliffs.
The Gorge is a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the calcareous grassland, Karst limestone butresses and Horseshoe Bats. Peregrine Falcons nest on the cliff face and Soay sheep keep the scrub in check.
