Ancient site of an Iron Age fort, a Spectacular large flat topped hill with brilliant views 360 of Bath and beyond.
Visiting it is really for the fit ones among us as it’s a steep climb , parking is very limited to, but if your adventurous and have walking boots ( can be muddy and slippery) 4 hours and a fine day it’s definitely worth it.

The gentle chatter of birds, rustling leaves and babbling spring waters replace the city drone. The smell of wildflowers fill the air in the warmer months and in autumn the fruits of nature abound in the hedgerows and orchard fruit trees. At all times of the year, a variety of views from this walk’s elevated position offer new perspectives of Bath, nestled among tree-lined hills. The contrast of the city, so close to this rural haven, enhances the sense of tranquility and the softness of nature’s forms, that unfurl into Bath like green fingers holding a golden stone prize, a special combination that has earned the city and its countryside setting World Heritage Site status. Please ensure you are using the up-to-date directions showing the walk in a clockwise direction.
