This is a particularly fine example of a Mendip ladder style stone stile. Drystone walls are one of the special qualities of the Mendip Hills AONB, criss-crossing the plateau they define the sense of place, reveal the limestone geology below, provide lifelines for wildlife to travel along and are a visual clue to the changes in agriculture that have happened across this nationally important landscape.
