Tips

Mendip Hills National Landscape

March 26, 2021

At almost 400 feet (122 m) deep and 3 miles (5 km) long, this is England’s largest gorge and, with its weathered crags and pinnacles, one of our most spectacular natural sites. It plays host to a varied community of specialised plants and wildlife. It has been named the ‘finest example of a limestone gorge in Britain’ by the British Geological Survey. It is one of the special qualities of the Mendip Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Cheddar Gorge is Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for wildlife and geology, a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) with five sites of national archaeological importance designated within the Gorge.
