Self-catering cottage accommodation near the MendipsThe Mendip Hills lie in a broad band across Somerset, from just outside Weston-super-Mare to the outskirts of Frome, 25 miles to the south-east. On their south-west side the hills drop abruptly to a low moor, while on the other side they slope more gently in a series of Foothills. Because the Mendips rise from a low-lying plain, they appear higher than they really are; Black Down, the highest point of the range is only 1067 ft above sea level. The central and highest part of the Mendips is a bare upland region of lonely fields and grestone walls. To the east, the hills are lower and the landscape gentler, sloping gradulally down to the lowlands. The western section consists of two ridges, whos hills include, Sandford Hill, Banwell Hill and Bleadon Hill, which reach almost to the coast. The Mendips are composed of limestone covering old red sandstone. The limestone accounts for the large number of drystone walls, the famous caves at Ceddar and Wookey, and numerous smaller caves and 'swallet holes' - small holes in the limestone which temporarily 'swallow up' streams. On the heights and along the byways the country is remote, the air bracing and the stillness profound. The Mendips offer splendid walking and cycling to those looking for seclusion and natural beauty.
