The Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Somerset is a range of limestone hills that span for 23 miles. Known for breathtaking valleys, pretty open countryside, steep slopes, rocky outcrops, gorges and the lakes of the Chew Valley, the Mendip Hills is a hot spot for outdoor adventures.
Walking, cycling, horse-riding, caving, potholing and climbing are all very popular here. Meanwhile, the area is a haven for flora and fauna, so perfect if you love nature and wildlife. Explore the wildflower covered slopes in summer, keep your eyes peeled for birds of prey and, you never know, you might spot some of the rare creatures that call this place home, like the common dormouse.
However, no visit to the Mendip Hills would be complete without a trip to the famous Cheddar Gorge or the Ebbor Gorge National Nature Reserve.
