1. X-Treme Adventures in Cheddar Gorge
Ever wanted to try Caving or Rock Climbing? Cheddar Gorge X-Treme Adventures offer 1 1/2 hour caving experiences throughout the year whatever the weather, so you can get down and dirty underneath the Gorge. If you fancy going up and over there are 1 1/2 hour rock climbing experiences that run from April to September providing it isn’t raining.
2. Kayaking along the Somerset Levels
Head to Wall Eden Adventure Farm towards Glastonbury through the Somerset Levels. You can choose from 1/2 day to Full day rental. Glide along the River Brue and pretend to be a Roman or Anglo-Saxon as you paddle along the beautiful untouched watercourse. Or how about Paddle Boarding on the River Parrett? Alongside of canoes, and kayaks you can hire a paddle board at Langport Boat Hire. If that is all a bit too adventurous you could always take a trip on the Duchess of Cocklemoor. Langports community boat operates in the summer months.
