They found the 10,000 yr old remains of a human male in Cheddar some years ago. Managed toget some DNA samples from it...they then did some DNA testing of the local population...and found many people in Cheddar directly descended.

Not exactly travellers...



[eta] awesome link btw. Thanks for that

I wouldn't leave Cheddar, either. Love the local cheese. You've tried?

The bodies found in the tomb are probably less petrified than the peeps.

Cheddar is the most commonly eaten cheese in England. Most of it does not come from Cheddar :P

I, for one, am glad I don't live in Limburger.

Cheddar Gorge is aptly named.
It's gorgeous.

Wow, so this means that some crop circles may actually point to something?

No, crop circles are flattened crops. What they are calling "crop circles" are places where the crops won't grow for lack of topsoil.
