The Mendip Hills stand high above the Somerset countryside in south west England.

The Mendip Hills, a limestone upland, abounds in karst features: dry gorges, caves, sinks and river arisings. Cheddar Gorge is the most famous feature. The highest part is a protected landscape - The Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - protected as strongly as a national park.

The Mendip Society is a registered charity, no. 262867. It is a group of some 700 like-minded people who come together in the interests of conserving and enhancing the Mendip Hills and so to enjoy the Hills. Most of the Society’s members live in and around the Hills, but some live as far afield as the north of England and even Canada.

These pages will tell you about the Mendip Hills and the work of the Mendip Society, a voluntary charity. They tell you how to enjoy the Hills and how to get involved. We hope you will join us and visit the linked sites.
