Travel from Cheddar — the village at the mouth of Britain's biggest gorge — into Bristol by private car: one driver, one fixed price, door to door. The 18 miles journey via the A38, A371 takes around 37min, whether you're headed to Temple Meads, the Harbourside, a hotel or a private address.

Cheddar is the village at the mouth of Britain's biggest gorge, where the cheese was first made and where Britain's oldest complete skeleton was found. A private intercity transfer between Cheddar and Bristol replaces the connection-hopping of public transport with a single seamless drive. Your BristolRide driver collects you at your door and delivers you to the exact address — ideal for luggage, families, meetings and groups. Cheddar — the village at the mouth of Britain's biggest gorge — is 18 miles out via the A38, in Somerset, close enough that a private car often beats the combined time of a taxi to the station, the wait for a train, and a taxi at the other end.

There are no changes and no stations — your route is door to door, and the fixed price is agreed before you travel, whether you're headed into the centre of Cheddar or further out in Somerset.
