    An excellent cycling climb with incredible views at the top

      March 24, 2021

      Deer Leap at the top of this climb - providing one of the best views in Somerset is a nature reserve managed by Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Unit (AONB).

      It is nationally protected for it's archaeology as an ancient medieval farmstead. Sheep graze here all year round as part of habitat management for wildflowers and butterflies. Grazing helps keep conditions right for wildflower seeds and is vital to keeping this nature reserve protected. The south facing slopes and limestone grassland host a wide variety of wildlife including birds that nest on the ground such as skylarks.
      Please keep dogs on a lead and under close control to protect wildlife
