  • The Blackdown Hills are a range of hills along the Somerset-Devon border in south-western England, which were designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1991. The plateau is dominated by hard chert bands of Upper Greensand with some remnants of chalk, and is cut through by river valleys. The hills support an extensive range of wildlife leading to the designation of 16 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). There is evidence of human occupation since the Iron Age. Fortifications include the remains of ancient hill forts, Norman motte-and-bailey castles and Second World War airfields. There are also religious buildings such as Dunkeswell Abbey and village churches. The hills are crossed by a network of minor roads with major transport routes including the M5 motorway running around the periphery. (en)
  • Les Blackdown Hills sont une chaîne de collines située le long de la frontière entre le Somerset et le Devon dans le Sud-Ouest de l'Angleterre. Le site est désigné Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) en 1991. (fr)
  • Le Blackdown Hills sono una catena di colline lungo il confine tra Somerset e Devon, nell'Inghilterra sud-occidentale, individuata come Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) nel 1991. L'altopiano è dominato da dure bande di rocce sedimentarie di "Upper Greensand" con alcuni residui di gesso, ed è attraversata da valli fluviali. Le colline ospitano una vasta gamma di fauna selvatica che ha portato a designare in esse 16 siti di speciale interesse scientifico (SSSI). Nelle Blackdown ci sono prove di occupazione umana fin dall'età del ferro. Alcune fortificazioni presenti includono i resti di antiche fortificazioni, motte castrali normanne e aerodromi della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Ci sono anche edifici religiosi come l'Abbazia di Dunkeswell e le chiese dei villaggi. Le colline sono attraversate da una rete di strade secondarie con importanti vie di comunicazione tra cui l'autostrada M5 che corre intorno alla periferia. (it)
