Cheddar Gorge Circular

Cheddar Gorge is England's largest and most spectacular gorge, featuring almost vertical limestone cliffs rising 400ft (122m) above the valley floor. This 4-mile (6.4km) circular walk allows hikers to essentially 'walk the rim' of the entire chasm. Starting from Cheddar village, the route ascends a steep, rocky path on the south side of the gorge to wide, grassy clifftops offering panoramic views across the Somerset Levels to Glastonbury Tor. You then cross the road at the top (Black Rock) and return via the similarly spectacular northern rim. Deep below, the winding road and the famous Cheddar Caves attract tourists, but the high ridgeline is surprisingly wild and dramatic.

Considered a premier multi-day trekking route in Los Glaciares National Park, the Huemul Circuit provides a circumnavigation of Cerro Huemul near El Chaltén. The route crosses two significant passes—Paso del Viento and Paso Huemul—offering direct panoramas of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Terrain varies from forested valley floors and river crossings to exposed glacial moraines and high-altitude scree slopes. The circuit is defined by its remoteness and the requirement for technical river crossing skills using fixed steel cables.
