View from Ham Hill

Highlight • Trail

Ham Hill is a magnificent country park with panoramic views over the South Somerset Moors, Exmoor and the Mendip Hills from the top. During the Iron Age, a huge hill fort would have stood here which would have been one of the largest in the south west.

Today, there's a number of hiking trails and bike routes through the park.

Ham Hill Quarry Earthworks

Highlight • Natural

Ham Hill has been quarried for so many generations that it’s surprising there’s still a hill there at all. The local hamstone has a pretty honey yellow hue to it and many of the locals buildings, and indeed entire villages, have been built with it.

The quarry has long been defunct and, left to nature’s own devices, it has become an intriguing landscape of grassy mounds. It’s fun to roam around, particularly if you have children in tow.
