Sprawling across Somerset, the Mendip Hills are a chain of picturesque rolling limestone hills. Situated to the south of Bristol and Bath, the hills run from Weston-super-Mare to Frome, covering 76 sq miles (198 km2). With stunning landscape of grassland, woodland and rocky hills, the area is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also popular with cavers thanks to its dramatic gorges and intricate network of caves.
