Mendip Gliding Club is situated near the spectacular Cheddar Gorge (an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) in the heart of the beautiful West country of England. At an altitude of 870 feet, the Club has breathtaking views across the Somerset Levels towards “mysterious” Glastonbury and over the Bristol Channel. The Club is about 30 minutes drive to the cities of Bristol, Bath and Weston-Super-Mare and close to Wells, the smallest city in England with its dramatic 14th Century Cathedral. Mendip Gliding Club operates at weekends, Thursdays and Bank Holidays with the occasional Course during the week. The main ridges face the prevailing south westerly winds which give excellent slope soaring conditions. Launching is normally by winch. The Club welcomes all and aims to provide first class training and gliding experiences to its members and visitors using suitable training gliders, equipment, gliding instructors and facilities.
