Bluebells at Ebbor Wood
This walk offers marvellous landscapes and superb woodland wild flowers and birdlife. The walk between the cliffs of Ebbor Gorge 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.

Safety and Difficulty

This is quite an easy walk of about 6 miles, with easier options for those who want to shorten the walk and just take the marked trails round Ebbor Gorge. However, the trails can be slippery after wet weather and care should be taken if walking close to the cliff edge.

Road Directions

Ebbor Gorge is a little off the main routes and is approached via quite narrow lanes. Either drive down from Priddy, taking the Pelting Drove road from the centre of the village, beside the pub. Or approach via Wookey Hole, driving past the Visitor Centre and Car Park and continuing up the road to Deerleap and the National Trust car park.

Car Parking

Use the National Trust car park at Ebbor Gorge. No charge is levied, but there is a collecting box for contributions.
