Discovering The Mendip Hills

PUBLISHER NOTE: The text was first published in 2010 and 2012 as a 'coffee table book', (now out of print). This edition is revised for 2021 as a delightful paperback pocket guide. (Part of a trilogy of guides including Discovering The Dorset Coast and Discovering The Lleyn Peninsula). With all embracing text the book is an essential guide to both east and west Mendip. The images showcase this sometimes overlooked region at its most extraordinary and unspoilt best in a user friendly format. Eight spectacular walks are included, now with OS mapping allowing the reader to discover the area first- hand, revealing the hidden delights and the true extent of the countryside and villages that nestle among the contours of the hills. Our journey begins on the western fringes where the hills rise to 1068ft above sea level at Black Down, culminating among the contrasting winding lanes and wooded valleys of eastern Mendip.
