Ebbor Gorge is a limestone gorge in the Mendip Hills of Somerset, England, cut mostly through the Clifton Down Limestone of the Lower Carboniferous Pembroke Group by the action of water. It was designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1952, donated to the National Trust in 1967, and is now managed by Natural England as a national nature reserve. The site has yielded Neolithic tools and flint arrowheads, Bronze Age pottery, and fossils of small mammals from the Late Devensian.
