Muslim Hikers: Cheddar Gorge

Kick off 2026 with a beautiful winter hike at Cheddar Gorge, one of Britain's most spectacular natural landmarks. This geological wonder offers breathtaking views, awe-inspiring cliff-top walks, and a fascinating history that spans thousands of years. Nestled in the Mendip Hills, Cheddar Gorge is not just a hiker's paradise but also a sanctuary for rare flora and fauna.

The gorge is part of the larger Cheddar Complex, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering a unique blend of natural architecture and scenic vistas.

This hike offers the perfect blend of challenging inclines, tranquil wooded areas, and stunning viewpoints, promising an experience like no other. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or new to the trails, this is a day out you won't want to miss.

This is a fantastic chance to meet likeminded hikers & adventurers from across the country and enjoy a scenic social trek as part of a professionally organised event with qualified mountain guides.

All are welcome regardless of religious background or ability. Whether you're a seasoned mountaineer or a first time walker, we invite you to join us.
