Priddy Mineries is a Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is lots of rare and special wildlife at this site. The site is of historic importance and was previously worked by the Victorians for lead which gives it that distinctive landscape characteristic of the "gruffy ground" you see across the Mendip Plateau

Hiking

The traces of old lead mines and a site of special scientific interest. Lots of paths wind their way through the old mines dug out of the ground and the lead spoil is all around you.
