A woman was left amazed after finding the ‘most magical’ gorge near where she lived, and it’s only a short drive away from Gloucestershire if you want to visit.
The UK is full of beautiful parks and places to go on a walk and Gloucestershire is no different. With places like the Cotswolds, gorgeous woodlands, and National Trust attractions, you’ll always find a new place to explore if you so wish. Or if you’re looking for inspiration a bit further afield, one nature fan is now urging people to visit a specific area in Somerset. She claimed it was the perfect location for a ‘magical’ walk.
Georgia, who goes by ‘gplansthings’ on TikTok, shared that she’s been living in Bath for almost four years. She finally took the time to visit Ebbor Gorge, which is a forty minute drive from the historic city.
In the short clip that highlighted snippets from her walk, she said: “The fact that I’ve lived in Bath for almost four years, and I’ve only just discovered this place is astounding.”

Located within the ancient limestone Mendip Hills in Somerset, Ebbor Gorge is a designated National Nature Reserve, managed by Natural England. It includes a walking trail that will have something for everyone, including woodland, rocks and caves, as well as streams to play in.
The site’s cave system, formed over millennia as rainwater slowly dissolved the subsurface limestone, have also yielded many interesting finds, most recently from the active Gully Cave dig, such as remains of auroch, cave bear, woolly rhino, reindeer and hyena.
If you want to explore the area, you can head on the Ebbor Gorge and Wookey Hole trail, which is four miles (6.5km) long, and will take you through the gorge while also show off a gorgeous view of Somerset.
“It was so pretty,” Georgia said. “It’s magical. Like, why would you not want to go here? It’s really cool.”
As for the gorge itself, Georgia claimed it was a smaller one, but made her feel like she’d transported into a jungle.
Several people quickly took to the comment section to share their thoughts – with many shared their own experiences of visiting the Ebbor Gorge.
One said: “Privileged to live 10 mins away from Ebbor gorge. There’s many good spots like this in a 5-10 mile radius of Ebbor.”
Meanwhile, someone else shared: “Did you get the the top of the valley and look out over the gorge? bit of a climb, but stunning views on a clear day. Just don’t go too close to the edge!”
