Depending on the exact timing he may have hiked across Doggerland.

     Possible - though Cheddar is in the southwest, long walk.
    The last specks of Doggerland are now going under and will

   get another a meteor hit and everything re-freezes.

Doggerland vanished thousands of years ago at the beginning of the current interstadial when sea levels rose by over 150m.
That was proper global warming. Not this nancy boy stuff they are panicking us with today.
All that is left of it is the Dogger banks - an area of shallow water that has good fishing.
Shortly to be destroyed with a wind farm.
