Situated in a Victorian schoolhouse at a remote site at the heart of the Mendip Hills, Charterhouse Centre is a unique place to visit and makes a great base form which to explore the AONB. A Somerset County Council study centre and operational base for the Mendip Hills AONB Service, Charterhouse is open all year round. Whether your interest is in the ecology, the history, or the geology of the hills, or you would simply like some information on the fascinating walks in and around the nature reserves, there is something for you!
