Discovering & Exploring: Mendip History and Natural Resources
-
In the New Year, our adventurous Young Rangers took a trip to Wells to learn about the history of Mendip Hills AONB. The water wells of Wells has historically supported the Mendip Hills providing vast amounts of water to the area, allowing the city to grow and develop. We had a guided tour around the Bishop's Palace and learned about the wealthy historical connections to Mendip Hills. We then took a visit to the Wells & Mendip Museum, to look at some human Neolithic artefacts and ancient animal remains that have been found in the Mendip Hills.
