Deacon Hill (172m), from which there are stunning views in essentially any direction (as long as you don't stare at your boots) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (the summit area is rich in plant species, and there are birds here such as buzzards and numerous species of butterflies, too).

There is a bench to sit on as well. The hill is a gorgeous place to be and marvel at the beauty of the world.
