Burrington Combe is a Carboniferous Limestone gorge near the village of Burrington, on the north side of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in North Somerset, England. "Combe" or "coombe" is a word of Celtic origin found in several forms on all of the British Isles, denoting a steep-sided valley or hollow. Burrington Combe is a gorge through the limestone hills although there is now no river running through it. Various cave entrances are exposed which have been occupied by humans for over 10,000 years, with a hillfort being built beside the combe in the Iron Age. The geology has led to a diversity of plant life. According to legend Augustus Montague Toplady was inspired to write the hymn Rock of Ages while sheltering under a rock in the combe, although recent scholars have disputed this claim.

Elle est située près du village de . Elle fait partie de la zone classée Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elle abrite plusieurs grottes qui ont été occupées par l'homme il y a 10 000 ans. Un fort a été construit en marge de la combe au cours de l'âge du fer. Selon la légende, le religieux et poète Augustus Montague Toplady a été inspiré pour écrire les paroles de l'hymne chrétienne Rock of Ages, par des rochers où il est supposé s'être abrité dans la combe de Burrington au cours d'un orage en 1763. Une plaque métallique commémore l'événement. (fr) Burrington Combe är en ravin i Storbritannien. Den ligger i riksdelen England, i den södra delen av landet, 180 km väster om huvudstaden London.
