Goblin Combe, Protected woodland valley in North Somerset, United Kingdom
Goblin Combe extends over 52 hectares of woodland, featuring limestone gorges, craggy outcrops, and flower-rich grasslands along marked walking trails.
An Iron Age hillfort called Cleeve Toot sits above the valley, with evidence of round houses, stone ramparts, and a satellite settlement from ancient times.
Local narratives tell of a young girl who encountered fairies while picking primroses in the valley, receiving a gold ball before being guided home.
The environmental center provides accommodation in a 38-bedroom lodge, a Grade 2 listed cottage, and an 8-acre camping field for educational groups.
The limestone slopes support rare plant species including stinking hellebore and limestone fern, while providing habitat for over 30 butterfly species.
