About

The Mendip West ward encompasses a rural expanse of the Mendip Hills, characterised by limestone geology and agricultural land. The area includes several villages such as Rodney Stoke and Westbury-sub-Mendip, which serve as local population centres. Land use is predominantly farming, with fields demarcated by traditional hedgerows. The topography features rolling hills and valleys, with elevations providing broad views across the Somerset Levels to the south.

A notable landscape feature is the presence of the nationally significant Ebbor Gorge, a steep-sided woodland reserve managed for its wildlife. The ward contains parts of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with public footpaths and quiet lanes used for recreation. The local economy is largely based on agriculture and services supporting the resident communities, with limited larger-scale development due to planning protections.
