A lovely place for a walk and to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding moors. This is national trust so there is a convenient car park at the bottom. Make sure you're prepared if it has been raining as the hill is quite steep and can be slippy. Definitely worth the climb though, it's our little Glastonbury Tor!
