Staple Hill is a Marilyn, with a summit at 1,033 feet (315 m). It rises in the Blackdown Hills AONB in Somerset and is half-cloaked in woodland. There's a trig pillar at the summit and be sure to roam around a bit out of the trees to enjoy the hill's sweeping views.

Staple Hill is a hill in the English county of Somerset, the highest point in the Blackdown Hills. It is classed as both a Marilyn and a Hardy.
This is one of the points on the Staple Fitzpaine Herepath ( I could think of other things to call the Herepath, but i'd get banned ) a part of Forestry England woodlands.
There is a loop walk, starting from the car parking area, of 800m taking in a couple of view points with the paths upgraded early in 2009 to be suitable for disabled access.
