The Impact of Tourism on the Natural Limestone Environment of Cheddar
The aim of this piece of coursework is to investigate the impact of
tourism, and a Park and Ride scheme, on the natural limestone
environment of Cheddar.
Cheddar is just forty-five minutes away to the south east of St
Gregory's Catholic Comprehensive School. The A18 is the road that we
first took to get to Cheddar and then we took the B3135 to get into
the gorge, as you can see on the map on page .
We visited Cheddar to collect primary data and to investigate the type
of limestone and its features. This trip was organised so that we
could see the limestone for ourselves instead of looking at other
sources like books or the Internet. The visit to Cheddar also enabled
us to a cross unit task. This was, water, landforms and people, and
people work and development.
In this coursework I shall include information on Carboniferous
Limestone and how it is formed. I shall also give an introduction to
Cheddar and the different parts of it such as the Gough's caves and
Aladdin's caves and the gorge. Maps will also be included so that you
can get an idea of where Cheddar is located and how far away it is
from certain places. In task 2, various graphs shall be made which
will show the information on all the surveys I took in order to help
me in my coursework. Task 3 shall include the different views of the
people that would be affected if the proposed Park and Ride, shown in
the grid reference 493534, would be built. These views shall be for
both for and against, depending on what group the view is on. The
conclusion will then sum up and give an idea of what has been
mentioned in the coursework. Last of all I shall evaluate my findings
and results from my various surveys and I shall also be analysing my
graphs. This is also where I will come up and decide whether I think
