When this part of the southern slopes of the Mendips was first occupied in the 1700s the terraces were hewn out of the limestone, allowing some fine landscaping. What was farmland became a home to a wealthy family and they afforded a wonderful panorama over the city of Wells and most of north Somerset - the cathedral can be seen in the distance. Mature trees complement the view beautifully.
