View of Ebbor Gorge

Highlight • Forest

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

Highlight • Gorge

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.
