Location

Compton Bishop is one of the best know secrets of the County. It's off a no through road and thereby has virtually no traffic other than the fortunate few local inhabitants. There's a network of more than 13 miles of well-used public footpaths, bridleways and permissive paths which provide a wonderful variety of routes with Crook Peak and Wavering Down dominating the sky-line. This area of The Mendip Hills is owned and cared for by the National Trust and provides peace and tranquility for the few homes scattered amongst the small fields surrounding the Church. For those needing sustenance there's a good pub in the nearby village of Cross.
