Ebbor Gorge is a limestone gorge similar but much smaller than Cheddar. It's a fun scramble with a nice circular walk. The car park, managed by the National Trust, is well-placed to start an adventure. There is information about the area and local walks on the notice boards.

The Mendip Way is a super 50 mile (80 km) long-distance footpath that takes in the beautiful scenic qualities of the gentle Mendip Hills. Nearby is beautiful Ebbor Wood and Ebbor Gorge, which forms part of the West Mendip Way. The West Mendip Way as a whole traverses the entire central Mendip Plateau. The scenery is gorgeous, and not far away is famous Wokey Hole village, with its equally famous cave.

Ebbor Gorge is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and National Nature Reserve(NNR). Dramatic limestone gorge with interesting caves of important past climate research. Its ancient woodland combes are rich in wildlife and of the Mendip Hills AONB's special qualities

These old lime kilns once burned the limestone from the neighbouring quarry, reducing it to quicklime. These types of kilns are scattered abundantly about the south west and make for fascinating features on local hikes. Somerset is particularly well-endowed with lime kilns thanks to its considerable limestone geology.

Ebbor Gorge is a magnificent limestone gorge within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Designated as a national nature reserve, the mixed woodland and deep gorge is home to much flora and fauna, including 250 species of mosses, liverworts and lichens. The caves within the gorge were inhabited by neolithic people and flint tools have been found. The path through the gorge is steep, rocky, wet and muddy. If you have decent footwear and average fitness, you’ll be fine. If you are planning to complete the round walk, I’d recommend going up the gorge (it’s so much fun you don’t notice the effort) and down the meadows (as the views are amazing and with you for the whole descent).

The path through the gorge starts off pretty tame but gets steeper, rockier, wetter, muddier and narrower as you go. It's great fun and packed with interest. If you have average fitness and decent footwear you'll be fine.
