Mendip Hills

About

The Mendip Hills ward encompasses a portion of the distinctive limestone plateau and its surrounding villages in northern Somerset. The landscape is defined by rolling hills, expansive grasslands, and notable geological features like the Cheddar Gorge. Agriculture is a primary land use, with fields divided by traditional dry stone walls. The area includes settlements such as Priddy and Charterhouse, which have historical connections to lead mining and farming.

The underlying limestone creates a unique karst environment, where rainfall drains rapidly through fissures to form extensive cave systems. This hydrology supports specialised habitats for flora and fauna. The ward contains protected areas of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, focusing on conservation and managed public access. Local community life is often centred around the rural parishes and their historic churches.
