Hydrochemical Studies in Swildon's Hole, Priddy, Somerset
Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2007, 24 (2), 121-175 HYDROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN SWILDON’S HOLE, PRIDDY, SOMERSET By R.D. STENNER, D. COOKE, K. GLENTON, A.V. KNIGHTS, M. MacDONALD, F.L. STENNER, L. WILLIAMS, and J. WILLIAMS ABSTRACT A detailed and comprehensive study was made of the hydrochemical properties of the streams flowing through Swildon’s Hole in 1999 and 2000 with additional data being collected in 2002 to permit the inclusion of data from a “normal” dry summer. Measurements were made and water samples were collected in the cave and from the surface streams feeding it. The aim was to measure the concentrations of all ionic species present in the samples in significant levels (accuracy and precision being checked by calculating ion balances). For each sampling trip in the cave it was possible to calculate progressive increments of total hardness and discharge as the stream flowed through the cave. These increments took place as water from the various stream inlets joined the Main Stream. Seasonal changes were assessed in the characteristics of many of the “drip and trickle” inlets. Although many properties showed low variability, data for aggressiveness were particularly instructive. In most inlets beyond Rolling Thunder, pronounced seasonal changes of aggressiveness were found. These changes were consistent with independent observations concerning levels of carbon dioxide in the air in the cave. In addition, all of the inlets beyond Rolling Thunder are contaminated with nitrate, chloride, sodium and potassium, strongly indicating the presence of contamination by human or animal waste. At the six inlets beyond Rolling Thunder as far as Sump I, the presence of faecal bacteria was confirmed.

GEOMORPHOLOGY and HYDROLOGY of the CENTRAL MENDIPS Steady Gradient of About I in 90 to Crook Peak (628 Ft.) and with Only Slightly Less Regularity to 400 Ft
Geomorphology and Hydrology or the Central Mendips. Proc. Univ. Brist. Spe1. Soc., 1969, 12 (I), 63-74. Jubilee Contribution University ofBristol Spel.eological Society Geomorphologyand Hydrology of the Central Mendips By D. T. DONOVAN, D.Se. Only in the last few years has the Society carried out and published work on cave geomorphology and hydrology. This article attempts to relate this work to the geomorphological problems of the Mendip Hills. These will be reviewed first. The first question which must be settled is the degree to which the relief of the Palreozoic rocks is an exhumed relief dating from Triassic times, revealed by the removal ofMesozoic rocks. Some authors, perhaps in spired by Lloyd Morgan (Morgan 1888 p. 250; Morgan & Reynolds 1909, p. 24), have thought Triassic erosion an important factor in determining details ofpresent relief. While the broad reliefofnorth Somerset certainly reflects that of the late Trias, when the Coal Measures vales between the Carboniferous Limestone uplands had already been eroded to their present level or lower, I question whether the relationship holds in any detail. Some of the marginal slopes of Mendip may be little more than old Carboniferous Limestone slopes exhumed by removal of Trias, but along the southern limit of the Mendips the characteristic steep, regular marginal slope is, in fact, largely cut in the Triassic Dolomitic Conglo merate which has an exceedingly irregular contact with the Carboniferous Limestone. Similarly, the summit plateau cuts indiscriminately across Carboniferous and Triassic. All the anticlinal cores were exposed by erosion in Triassic times, but except west of Rowberrow, where the Old Red Sandstone core ofthe Blackdown anticline was already eroded down to a low level in the Trias, I conclude, with Ford and Stanton (1969) that the Triassic landscape is unimportant in controlling present relief.

Wookey Hole Circular Walk
Swan Walk 4 Wells - Wookey Hole circular walk Scan the QR code with your phone's camera to access more walks from Wells Walking Tours Wells - Wookey Hole circular walk - 4.2 miles long and takes approx. 2.5hrs. Includes hills, steps, stiles and possibly livestock at certain times of the year. The red text identifies points of interest to look out for. Standing on what was the drawbridge, with your back to the beautiful 13th century Bishop's Palace, turn right and walk over to the viewing area beside the moat. 1) From here you can see a little window on the side of the gatehouse. If you look carefully you can see the metal bell beneath it that the swans here on the moat have been ringing for food for over 150 years. The large swan floating on her nest on the water, was one of sixty swans here in Wells during 2012, celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Leaving the moat behind you walk through the large gateway known as The Bishop’s Eye into the Market Place and then right again through Penniless Porch and onto Cathedral Green. 2) Built over 800 years ago, Wells Cathedral is regarded as one of the finest cathedrals in the country. The West Front has the largest collection of medieval statues in Europe. Walk past the West Front and turn right, passing under The Chain Gate bridge and then turn left. 3) Vicars’ Close was built in 1363 and is the longest continually inhabited street in Europe. Walk to the end and then up the steps to the right of the chapel and over the pedestrian crossing.
