This Sunday, 14 June, the gorge road was closed by the police, so young and old came to rev their car and motorcycle engines in the car park until late. So I moved to Cliff Street Car Park, which was much quieter.Translating
I don’t see any signs saying no parking over night. Parking charge is 7 pound from 9 am - 9 pm. Haven’t slept here yet though
on parking signs says no overnight parking at the machine (village side of carpark) charges now apply 9-9
Great location for visiting Cheddar and the caves. Like others say there were boy racers blip up n down the gorge but as I was parked near the weir that drowned most of it out. Paid for a ticket for 0900-1800 then free outside those hours.
Quiet enough, we’re boy racers until about 2130 as previously mentioned. Lovely little village. Parking for all day cost £6 but they only charge from 0900 - 2100. Public toilets are a minute or 2 walk away from the location and are ok.
lovey free park up from 9pm noise coming from cars racing up and down the gorge, lovely little town, will come back again.
good morning good spot after 2am . lot of coming and going with cars and young people racer cars and bikes u and down the gorge till about 1am toilets are a few mIns walk down to from where parked not good during night
Great spot close to pubs, chippy, shops and the gorge walk. Free from 9pm to 9am. Unfortunately lots of petrol heads around, didn't feel unsafe but they were intermittently waking us up until around 2am. Thankfully we were able to get straight back to sleep but might not be ideal for everyone.
Fantastic location, parked here at 8pm and paid for the hour, free after 9pm. no other cars or vans. We weren’t bothered all night, no noise other than the water which was lovely. Couple decent pubs near by also.
Perfect for spending the night and then visiting Cheddar Gorge. It’s very convenient to sleep here and visit the next day because the car park fills up quickly during the day. However, the toilets next to the shops are not very clean and smell awful.Translating
First it’s free overnight! There was some toilets near (sign pointing to them town side of the car park) I moved up the top or the Gorge at sunrise as felt safer away from the road. Like others mentions, the road attracts very loud racing until gone 1am. Maybe quieter at the top but can sit way away from the road here. Toilets near Tesco in town were closed so these were only ones open I found
Great to stay the night, we tucked ourselves away in the corner. Not great during the day unless you are smaller than 6m as you would have to use up two spaces.
Great place. Only 1 other van last Was quiet from about10pm with the only noise being an owl. Arrived at5pm cost £4 till 9pm then free till 9am. Only £6for 9am to 9pm so reasonable as we are going to do full cheddar day. Highly recommended
£6 to park from 9am to 9pm and free overnight. No signs to prohibit overnight parking. Some lovely walks in the area and great for climbing too. Pretty busy in the day but peaceful at night. Toilets a short walk away
Great spot. Right outside the ticket office, cafe and Jacob’s ladder. We arrived at 9pm, was plenty of space. Make sure you park around the side/back of the shops in the carpark, we nearly missed it because it was so dark! Free from 9pm-9am then it was £6 parking for 12hrs! Great spot, would 100% recommend. The carpark was full by 10/11am the following morning so don’t arrive too late!
Loverly place to stay for 1 night. And few little shops at the car park. Toilets available throughout the night. The odd boy racer. But they never bothered us, so I don’t mind them. We parked by the waterfall which was very relaxing and off from the road.
