Dramatic gorges and ancient woodland rising above the Somerset Levels The Mendip Hills run east-west across Somerset from Frome to Brean Down. Inside they are hiding fascinating secrets such as underground caves and rivers, making the hills a popular centre for caving. From the outside they reveal centuries of history from the pre-historic at Cheddar to the Iron-Age at Brent Knoll and a Victorian fort at Brean Down. They are fantastic places for walking, cycling and horse riding and the views from the top of these hills are truly breathtaking. The hills are also a haven for wildlife, particularly if you are interested in butterflies and wild flowers.
The woods for the dog in hot weather, and then over to the lake ,for him to cool down and enjoy himself, it makes me happy to watch him playing, and the mendips is great ,
Beautiful place. Nice landscape Love that place. We really enjoyed
Stunning beautiful place. Parked up for a night. Really quiet and idyllic
It was not a nice day, a little raining but the place is very nice for a walk and explore
we didnt want to pay to enter the gorge or other attractions as they were not as appealing to us. We have previously been in caves / gorges so know what to expect to see. However we drove from an Area in Somerset (Locking) around 35 min to this area. Its a lovely drive through the clifs and there is a lovely river and stream. We got hungry so decided to eat at one of the cafes ( their fresh scones are amazing ! ) We just did a little walking and had a stroll through the shops. Nice few hours out.
Excellent scenery, great place to get away from it all but you don't have to go far, lovely hilly walk.
