Ebbor Gorge

Our verdict

A pocket-sized gorge that punches miles above its weight. The scramble up through the cleft is genuinely exciting, and the view over the Levels is the payoff.

A wooded limestone gorge below the Mendip scarp, with a steep scramble through a narrow cleft and a viewpoint right across the Somerset Levels to Glastonbury Tor.

Protected woodland and steep crags. Stick to the marked paths, there are sheer drops and sensitive wildlife.
