By Rail
You first need to travel to Weston-Super-Mare (click here for train timetables). Thence proceed by bus 126 or taxi.
Cheddar’s own station on the Yatton to Wells line did not survive the Beeching axe of 1963 but station buildings remain in the village and much of the old line is now a long distance footpath.
By Bus
The main bus service in Cheddar is the 126 from Weston-Super-Mare station to Wells bus station. For more bus timetable details visit www.firstgroup.com. There is also a comprehensive list of Somerset bus timetables provided by Somerset County Council (see diagram below for routes through Cheddar).
Our only other regular bus services are run by Bakers Dolphin Coaches; there is the 668 which goes to Wedmore and Street (for Clarks Village and adjacent to Glastonbury); the 619 from Badgworth via Axbridge, Cheddar, Wedmore and Mark to Bridgwater College; and the 620 between Bridgwater College, Wedmore, Cheddar, Winscombe and Langford.
