Rising like a rampart a thousand feet above the Somerset Levels, the Mendip Hills AONB is a land of crags, gorges and valleys. Centrepiece is the Cheddar Gorge, England’s largest, and its caves and dramatic cliff top walk. Then there’s Wookey Hole, taking deep underground to a colourful spectacular – watch out for the witch!
Black Down, the high point of the Mendips, has stunning views across to Wales, and with Burrington Ham has amazing wildlife and archaeological treasures. Deer Leap is another viewpoint, overlooking the ancient Kings Wood, just off the Mendip Way.
Ebbor Gorge is a national nature reserve with woodland, rocks, caves and streams. Wander round the ancient hamlets of Priddy, with its Neolithic forts, and Charterhouse, with its Roman lead mines. Dolebury Warrren is another Iron Age hill fort. Then it’s down the hills to the Chew Valley lakes for some birdwatching and fishing.
