Dundry Hill
Dundry Hill is just south of Bristol, England. It runs about 2 miles (3 km) from east to west. Most of the hill is in North Somerset, with the eastern end in Bath and North East Somerset and the northern side in Bristol, where the highest point in the county is located. The top of the hill rises to 223 m (732 ft) above sea level.
The village of Dundry, with its prominent church, sits near the summit. At the hill’s eastern end is Maes Knoll, an Iron Age hillfort and the start of Wansdyke. To the south lies the Chew Valley. On the western side there is a spring that becomes the River Land Yeo.
Dundry Main Road South Quarry near East Dundry is a 0.7 hectare site of special scientific interest because of its fossils in the inferior oolite. The quarry shows a clear section of the Middle and Upper Inferior Oolite rocks, with fossils that reflect different faunas and help scientists understand movements of the Mendip Axis in the Middle Jurassic, making it an important site for the study of ancient geography.
