The Cross and St Bartholomew’s Church, Ubley
Highlight • Historical Site
Ubley is an attractive village set mostly on the valley floor but rises up on the lower slopes of the Mendip Hills to the south.
The surrounding valley landscape is of farmland with small and medium sized fields largely for grazing. Fields are separated by well-kept hedgerows with intermittent mature trees. The whole area is rich in wildlife and is rural and unspoilt in character.
There are magnificent views from the slopes of the Mendips across the Parish and as far as South Wales to the west and the hills above Bath to the east. The roads are lined by a mixture of hedgerows and walls, the latter of which are of local stone. The slopes of the Mendip scarp are densely wooded with an area known as Ubley Wood.
The centre of the village is at The Cross, outside the 13th century St Bartholomew’s Church. This is a conservation area, with charming houses and gardens and a view up to the Mendip Hills.
Ubley has many way-marked paths leading either up to the Mendip Hills or down to the edges of Blagdon and Chew Valley Lakes. From the Mendip Hills above Ubley both lakes can be seen, and on a clear day the view is spread from Cardiff to the hills above Bath.
