The combe is located at ({{gbmapping|ST473652}}), and is a {{convert|52|ha|acre|0}} biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) originally notified in 1999, with {{convert|9|ha|acre|0}} being managed as a nature reserve by the Avon Wildlife Trust. "Combe" is the same as the Welsh word "cwm" which means valley. Above the valley is Cleeve Toot an Iron Age hillfort. It is a roughly oval settlement which is approximately {{convert|125|m|ft}} in length by {{convert|90|m|ft}} in breadth. Approximately {{convert|150|m|ft}} to the north is another, smaller settlement. They are thought to have been a satellite community of nearby Cadbury Hill[1] Pits have been found at the site indicating the presence of round houses.[2] There is a single stone rampart with a broad shallow outer ditch. There is also a prehistoric or Roman field system.[3] Folk taleGoblin Combe has a folk tale involving primroses:[4][5] “There was a parcel of children and they was a-picking primroses, see, and one poor little dear her wandered away on her lone self right down into Goblin Combe. She were only a little trot, see, and didn't know no better. Well, when she do find she's a lost she cries, and the tears do run down her dear little face, and dap on her pinafore like summer rain, and she do throw her self against a rock. Then the rock opens and there's the fairies all come to comfort her tears. They do give her a gold ball and they lead the dear little soul safe home – on account she was carrying primroses, see. Flora and faunaA population of the nationally scarce plant stinking hellebore (Helleborus foetidus) grows on scree slopes in the combe, near Cleeve Toot; it is native at this site.[6] Limestone fern (Gymnocarpum robertianum), another nationally scarce plant, is also found here on limestone scree.[7] Other flowers include the autumn gentian, autumn ladies'-tresses and yellow-wort. The site also supports a varied collection of butterflies, with over 30 species recorded. These include grizzled and dingy skippers, brown argus and green hairstreak.[8] Goblin Combe Environment CentreGoblin Combe Environment Centre is a registered charity (No 1099543) which provides educational training and residential facilities for visiting groups. It is located within a large expanse of woodland ridges at the start of Goblin Combe. The centre's aim is to provide a wide range of environmental education to all ages and all sectors of the community. It uses the woods to provide a teaching space in a 'classroom without walls', and a dynamic learning environment for natural history.[9] Sources
