There is a single pub called the “The Prince Of Wales” at Hamhill, which sells, ice cream, ales, ciders, and food… With out door seating, overlooking the rolling Slopes.

Ham Hill affords wonderful views over Stoke-sub-Hamdon nestled in the countryside. The hill was quarried for local Ham Stone for many centuries and the 15-strong stone circle you find there was built by the Millennium Project to commemorate this. There is also a war memorial on the summit.
