Cool little information stand here with information; did you know this species is the largest living thing on earth? The big ones can be 3 motorway lanes wide! They are sometimes called “vegetable monsters” and they were brought to the uk from California by the SS Great Britain!

Dolebury Warren is the site of an Iron Age hill fort and was also occupied during the Roman period. Today the site still has many earthworks to explore and bands of rock which may have been the foundations of walls. As a runner the ridgeline is fun to run with a not too steep ascent and fun descent whichever way you run it. The Limestone Link trail goes along the summit and it makes a good addition to a Beacon Batch loop from Burrington Combe.

A great climb! Very long, but nice and steady for the most part.

Abbotts Pool is a lovely little lake surrounded by woodland. You reach the lake via a network of lanes and bridleways. It lies on the NCN Route 334. The pools were closed in 2020 due to littering and anti-social behaviour. Makes sure you leave no trace so that humans can enjoy the beautiful spot alongside its wildlife.

Classic Mendip climb. Just ride it!

Abbots Pool is a tranquil pond nestled within an idyllic mature woodland. The pond was originally part of a series of pools developed by medieval monks to farm fish. Due to some antisocial behaviour at the pond, activities such as swimming and barbecues have been banned. However, there are still lots of beautiful trails to explore in this nature reserve, which is home to much wildlife including deer, bats and birds.

Small water feature at the edge of the pond, there are steps leading down to the left where you can get an alternative view, along with a bench for a spot of lunch

As part of the nature reserve management there are sheep grazing to protect the rare plants and flowers that the grassland supports. It is important to keep your dog under close control and on a lead at all times on Dolebury Warren. Dolebury Warren is an Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is owned by the National Trust and managed by Avon Wildlife Trust. The unusual mixture of wildflowers makes this a nationally important site for wildlife. 'Lime-loving' plants like rockrose flourish alongside such 'acid-loving' plants as bell heather, which survive on patches of acidic sand blown onto the site during the ice age. The visible remains of Dolebury's past include the imposing double ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort and a medieval rabbit warren. This is a nationally protected site of archaeological interest.
