Fernhill Farm, located in the Mendip Hills AONB, spans 160 acres of grasslands, with 10 acres dedicated to woodland, orchard, and a kitchen garden. Additional grazing land is provided by the National Trust, Woodland Trust, and neighbouring farms. The site holds archaeological significance, featuring Neolithic and Bronze Age burial barrows, ring ditches, and artefacts like arrowheads and flint knappings. Located under 5 miles from Cheddar Caves, home to the oldest known human skeleton, the farm aims to serve as a multi-generational home while diversifying into agricultural hospitality, commerce, and educational initiatives, raising its profile as a key destination.
