Get ready for an extraordinary, multi-sensory experience at Cheddar Gorge & Caves in Somerset!
“Yeo’s Journey,” a UK-first animation within a cave, tells the story of how the caves were formed and evolved by the power of water. The River Yeo, which flows through the cave, has sculpted and shaped this incredible place over hundreds of millions of years.
The caves were created over hundreds of millions of years with the River Yeo – from which the experience gets its name – now flowing through under the cave.
Cheddar Gorge was recently named one of UK’s most unforgettable natural landmarks and the historic complex of caves has been owned by descendants of Sir John Thynne, the first Marquess of Bath whose family seat is at Longleat, since the 16th century.
Lord Bath, the 8th Marquess, said: “This immersive journey very much demonstrates the uniqueness of these caves, and the experience brings to life the effect of the water in this area over millions of years.
“It has sculpted and shaped this incredible place. It will enable people to make many discoveries from the home of the rainbow – structures created by the water trickling through the limestone – through to a mirror pool where perfectly clear waters reflect the flowstone formation above it, a natural masterpiece. This is an attraction which utilises the natural beauty of Cox’s Cave,” he added.
The new experience has been 18 months in the planning and has seen the Cheddar team work with DJW – Audio-visual installation specialists who have also worked on Direct from Graceland: Elvis in London, Titanic Belfast, and Bletchley Park and Revenant – an internationally award winning animation studio.
