Mendip – masyw wzgórz w Wielkiej Brytanii w hrabstwie Somerset o długości ok. 30 km i szerokości ok. 9 km, położony między Weston-super-Mare a Frome. Najwyższym szczytem jest Beacon Batch (384 m n.p.m.). Na terenie Mendip Hills znajduje się park krajobrazowy (ustanowiony w 2000 roku). Rezerwat geologiczny. Popularny region wypoczynkowy o znaczeniu ponadlokalnym. Wzgórza zbudowane są głównie z wapienia, stąd w czasach historycznych wydobywano tu wapień, jak również żelazo, baryt i miedź.

Sie liegen zum größten Teil auf dem Gebiet des nach ihnen benannten Distrikts Mendip, dessen Territorium nahezu identisch mit der Ausdehnung der Mendips ist.

Running from Weston-super-Mare and the Bristol Channel in the west to the Frome valley in the east, the hills overlook the Somerset Levels to the south and the Chew Valley and other tributaries of the Avon to the north. The hills give their name to the local government district of Mendip, which administers most of the area.

Les collines de Mendip, en anglais Mendip Hills, communément appelées The Mendips, sont situées dans le Somerset, en Angleterre, au sud-ouest des villes de Bristol et de Bath. Elles culminent à 325 mètres d'altitude à Black Down. Principalement constituées de calcaire, avec du grès et des roches volcaniques, elles présentent un relief karstique prononcé, avec un plateau sommital où s'enfonce un important réseau souterrain, des versants entrecoupés de gorges et des piémonts où ressurgissent les cours d'eau. Ceux-ci sont alimentés par d'importantes précipitations provoquées par le climat tempéré humide de la région. Les nombreuses prairies naturelles couvrant la partie supérieure des collines ont été aménagées par l'homme, notamment pour y pratiquer l'élevage. L'essentiel de la population, longtemps restée démunie en raison de son relatif isolement, se concentre dans leur partie basse. La région, peuplée depuis le Paléolithique, a présenté un attrait dès l'âge du bronze, accentué durant la conquête romaine de la Bretagne, en raison de sa richesse en minerai et en particulier en plomb. Les collines présentent de nombreuses traces d'exploitation minière, laquelle se poursuit actuellement sous forme de carrières de pierre. Les nombreuses cavités naturelles constituent un site réputé parmi les spéléologues. Les collines sont également populaires pour la pratique de la randonnée pédestre. La zone est classée Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty depuis 1972 sur une superficie approchant 200 km2. De Mendip Hills (meestal gewoon The Mendips genoemd) is een gebied van voornamelijk uit kalksteen bestaande heuvels in het Engelse graafschap Somerset, ruwweg tussen Weston-super-Mare en het oostelijker gelegen Frome. De top van de hoogste heuvel, de Black Down, bevindt zich op 325 meter (1.066 voet) boven zeeniveau. De origine van de naam Mendip is onzeker. De naam zou uit het Oudengels, Brythonisch of zelfs het Baskisch kunnen komen. Het westelijke, hoogste gedeelte van het gebied vormt sinds 1972 een zogeheten Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Er wordt al eeuwenlang kalksteen en zandsteen gewonnen, waarmee onder meer in de steden Bath en Bristol veel gebouwd is, maar vanwege de grote schade die dit veroorzaakt proberen natuurbeschermers dit nu af te remmen. Is cnoic i Sasana iad Mendip Hills, atá suite i Somerset. The Mendip Hills (commonly called the Mendips) is a range of limestone hills to the south of Bristol and Bath in Somerset, England. Running from Weston-super-Mare and the Bristol Channel in the west to the Frome valley in the east, the hills overlook the Somerset Levels to the south and the Chew Valley and other tributaries of the Avon to the north. The hills give their name to the local government district of Mendip, which administers most of the area. The higher, western part of the hills, covering 198 km2 (76 sq mi) has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which gives it a level of protection comparable to a national park. The hills are largely formed from Carboniferous Limestone, which is quarried at several sites. Ash–maple woodland, calcareous grassland and mesotrophic grassland which can be found across the Mendip Hills provide nationally important semi-natural habitats. With their temperate climate these support a range of flora and fauna including birds, butterflies and small mammals. The dry stone walls that divide the pasture into fields are of botanical importance as they support important populations of the nationally scarce wall whitlowgrass (Draba muralis). The origin of the name "Mendip" is unclear, but it is known that there has been human habitation since Palaeolithic and Mesolithic times with a range of artefacts being recovered from caves. Neolithic, Iron Age, and Bronze Age features such as barrows are numerous with over 200 scheduled ancient monuments recorded. There is evidence of mining in the Mendips dating back to the late Bronze Age, which increased after the Roman invasion, particularly for lead and silver around Charterhouse. The difficult conditions in the area were noted by William Wilberforce in 1789, which inspired Hannah More to begin her work improving the conditions of the Mendip miners and agricultural workers. In the 18th and early 19th centuries 7,300 ha (18,000 acres) of the common heathland on the hills were enclosed. In World War II a bombing decoy was constructed on top of Black Down at Beacon Batch. More recently, the mast of the Mendip transmitting station, micro-hydroelectric turbines and a wind turbine have been installed. There are several quarries on the Mendip Hills. Some of the stone is still carried by Mendip Rail; the other railways in the area closed in the 1960s. Although the Roman Fosse Way crossed the hills, the main roads generally avoid the higher areas and run along the bottom of the scarp slope on the north and south of the hills. The western end of the hills is crossed by the M5 motorway and A38. Further east, and running almost north to south, are the A37 and A39. A wide range of outdoor sports and leisure activities take place in the Mendips, many based on the particular geology of the area. The hills are recognised as a national centre for caving and cave diving, as well as being popular with climbers, hillwalkers and natural historians. Wookey Hole Caves and some of the caves in Cheddar Gorge are open as show caves; however, many of the caves of the Mendip Hills are only accessible to members of caving clubs. Long-distance footpaths include the Mendip Way and Limestone Link. تلال منديب (تسمى عادة منديب) هي مجموعة من تلال الحجر الجيري إلى الجنوب من بريستول وباث في سومرست، إنجلترا. يمتد من الشرق إلى الغرب بين ويستون سوبر مير وفروم، وتطل التلال على مستويات سومرست في الجنوب ووادي تشو وروافد آفون الأخرى في الشمال. أعطت التلال اسمها لمنطقة مينديب الحكومية المحلية، التي تدير معظم المنطقة. الجزء الغربي الأعلى من التلال يغطي 198 كيلومتر مربع (76 ميل2) تم تخصيصها كمنطقة ذات جمال طبيعي متميز (AONB)، مما يمنحها مستوى من الحماية يضاهي الحديقة الوطنية. تتكون هذه التلال بشكل كبير من الحجر الجيري الكربوني، الذي يتم استخراجه من عدة أماكن. تتميز المنطقة بثلاثة بيئات شبه طبيعية مهمة وطنياً: الرماد - غابات القيقب والأراضي . مع مناخها المعتدل الذي يدعم مجموعات من النباتات والحيوانات مثل الطيور والفراشات والثدييات الصغيرة. تعتبر الجدران التي تقسم المراعي إلى حقول ذات أهمية نباتية لأنها توفر للسكان المهمين من الجدار الأبيض النادر على العشب (Draba muralis).

Ein 200 km² großer Teil der Mendips ist zur Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty erklärt worden, wodurch die Gegend denselben Schutz genießt, der auch einem Nationalpark zukommt. Die Bezeichnung Mendip soll sich aus dem brythonischen Begriff Mened (walisisch mynydd) gebildet haben, mit dem die keltischen Briten höher gelegene Moore bezeichneten. Das Suffix könnte aus einer Verkürzung des angelsächsischen Wortes hop für Tal entstanden sein.
