Ebbor Gorge

Walking through Ebbor Gorge offers marvellous landscapes and superb woodland wild flowers and birdlife. The walk between the cliffs is a special experience and, if time allows, it is well worth stopping long enough at Wookey Hole to join the guided tour through its fascinating limestone caves (payable). It's also a great place for those who lacing up their walking boots!
