Large Holiday Houses Near The Mendip Hills

The Mendip Hills National Landscape is an area of contrasts, from the craggy summits and exposed ridges to the softly rolling fields and quant villages where life ticks contentedly along. It’s undeniably scenic, with views that stretch far and wide, across the Somerset Levels, to North Devon, the Bristol Channel, and right across to South Wales.

The Mendips has a lot to see and do, with a few major attractions that pull the crowds in the school holidays. The best known is Cheddar Gorge, a limestone ravine craved out during the last Ice Age, with dramatic, towering cliffs, and far, far below, Cheddar Caves where you can explore the illuminated caverns and delve deep into the history of this incredible place. Wookey Hole is a hotspot, with several family attractions and a unique cave system that’s home to the petrified Witch of Wookey and her dog.

So if you’re staying in this part of the world on your large group holiday in the South West, you should venture forth. Have a good day out with the fam, embrace the great outdoors with walks, cycle rides, watersports and nature spotting, wind up at one of the cosy country pubs for eats. Make memories, find a new big happy.
