Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is a neolithic chambered tomb located in Somerset that dates back to around 3500 BCE. It is thought to be one of the best preserved examples of its kind in the country! Transport yourself to the past and discover its chambered interior, intricate carvings and ancient artefacts.

Cley Hill stands proud of the surrounding flatlands at 244 m high. There is a trig point, awesome views and steep sided trails to run. It's an important area of chalk downland managed by the National Trust for the plants and insects which live here. Cley Hill is also famous for UFO sightings and crop circles, so keep an eye out :-)

This neolithic long barrow is aligned to midwinter sunrise. For several days either side of solstice you can watch the rising sun shining down the central chamber.

Fantastic views over the Longleat Estate. Benches at the top to take it all in.

Tough climb up some steep paths to get to the lovely viewpoint looking over Longleat estate. The heaven's gate sculpture is also up here.

The biggest ancient semi-natural woodland in the Mendips, Asham Wood is an absolute pleasure to stroll around. Diverse in plants and wildlife, this forest comes alive in spring and summer. The Somerset Wildlife Trust sometimes run events and talks in the woods, to teach visitors about coppicing, local wildlife and conservation.
