St Michael's Hill affords breathtaking views over the village of Montacute and the serene Somerset countryside. On the summit, you find St Michael's Tower, a folly built in the 18th century. Shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066, a castle was built on the summit. However, nothing remains of the castle today.

Hiking

St Michael's Hill is situated approximately 10-15 minute walk from the road going through Montacute village… There is a tower upon it, which you can access, and climb the spiral stairs to look out across southern Somerset.

Worth a visit for the view, even if only once…
