Local Attractions

Whitehole Farm is situated 17 miles South of the famous City of Bath, surrounded by the villages of Coleford, Mells, Vobster, Leigh-on-Mendip, Stoke St Michael and Holcombe. It makes up part of the Mendip Hills.

The Mendip Hills have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is one of 49 AONBs in England, Wales & Northern Ireland.

The Mendip Hills area is steeped in history and legend associated with Roman and Iron Age remains, and features some of Somerset’s most attractive landscapes.

This apparently modest range of limestone hills stretches about 50 miles from the coast at Weston-super-Mare almost to Frome in the east (The Mendip Way long-distance footpath covers this route, and is an ideal focus for a short break holiday).

The summits of the Mendips offer spectacular, panoramic views over the Bristol Channel, and towards Exmoor. The folds in the hills have created many attractive valleys in which mellow, stone-walled villages nestle. Underground, the Mendips are honeycombed with caverns carved out of the limestone rock by the erosive power of water over millions of years. Some caverns, such as Wookey Hole caves, have long been popular visitor attractions, but many more are known only to experienced cavers. Nearby are the magnificent landscape features of Cheddar Gorge and Burrington Combe.
