    Burrington Combe is one of the finest places in Mendip Hills to see one of it's most identifying special qualities - Visible Geology. Did you know the Mendip Hills are the birth place of geological mapping? In the early 1800's William Smith worked as a surveyor for the Somersetshire Coal Company, he realised that by studying fossils and the rock layers they were in he could predict other rock layers as they were laid down in a pattern.

    Burrington Combe is a designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for the
    wildlife habitats. Today goats are on the steep slopes, with ponies and cattle roaming across the grasslands controlling the scrub. It is quite common to see the cows roaming in the combe.
