About

Mendip South ward encompasses a primarily rural portion of the Mendip Hills in Somerset. The landscape is defined by rolling farmland, scattered villages, and significant areas of woodland and nature reserve. The underlying limestone geology shapes the environment, creating notable features like the Ebbor Gorge, a steep-sided ravine managed by Natural England. Agricultural activity and forestry are central to the area's character.

The ward includes the villages of Pilton, renowned for its historic abbey and its long-standing connection to the Glastonbury Festival, and North Wootton. Settlement is sparse, with a network of narrow lanes connecting farms and hamlets. The terrain includes parts of the expansive Mendip Forest plantations. This is an area where natural history and quiet, working countryside are predominant.
