Purn Hill, Scientific site in Bleadon, Somerset, England
Purn Hill extends over 6.1 hectares as a limestone promontory that projects southward from the main Mendip ridge in Somerset, England.
The site received its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1990, recognizing the national importance of its grassland slopes.
The Mendip Way walking trail crosses through Purn Hill, connecting visitors with traditional English countryside paths and natural heritage sites.
Two access points lead to the reserve, with paths that require careful navigation during winter months when surfaces become slippery and muddy.
The location harbors three nationally rare plants, including the Somerset Hair-grass, which grows exclusively in the western Mendips of Britain.
