Ubley Warren | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Ubley Warren bears the scars of an industrial past with low gullies cut into the limestone rock called rakes and deep mine shafts featuring in its landscape; this is reflected in the nationally scarce lead tolerating plants which are found here.
GB Gruffy | Somerset Wildlife Trust
"Gruffy” or “groovy” ground is the Mendip name for land with numerous mineshafts, and other mining hollows, such as those covering most of the reserve. Lead was mined here in the 16th and 18th centuries and the work of the miners is still apparent today. GB Gruffy is a wonderful flower rich grassland and is also very good for butterflies and other grassland insects.

The remote landscape is fractured with traditional stone walls and offers panoramic views across the Levels and Moors. The area is famous for its caving and the spectacular Cheddar Gorge which runs close to the reserves.
