If a waterfall continues to retreat, it will eventually create a gorge or canyon. As the water erodes the rock behind the waterfall, it deepens the valley, forming steep cliffs on either side. Over time, this process can lead to the creation of a dramatic landscape characterized by a narrow and deep chasm.

The name "Cheddar Gorge" originates from the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England, where the gorge is located. The word "Cheddar" is believed to derive from the Old English term "ceador," meaning "waterfall," referring to the area's natural features. The gorge itself was formed during the last Ice Age and has become renowned for its dramatic cliffs and stunning scenery, as well as its association with Cheddar cheese, which originated in the region.
Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, England, was formed during the last Ice Age, around 1.2 million years ago, when water eroded the limestone rock to create the stunning gorge we see today.
