The views across somerset are stunning.

Sticking out from the end from the ridge of rock that runs from the Mendips Crook Peak offers views over from Exmoor too Wales. A particularly great ride from Wavering down back along the ridge.

„Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish, I wish he'd go away... When I came home last night at three The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall I couldn't see him there at all! Go away, go away, don't you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... Last night I saw upon the stair A little man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today Oh, how I wish he'd go away...“ Hughes MEARNS: „Antigonish“ [I met a man who wasn't there]

Brean Down is a beautiful, small, trig pointed peninsula that sits between Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea. At 320 feet (97 m) high, it has nice commanding views north over Weston Bay and south over Berrow Flats, whilst out to sea are Steep Holm and Flat Holm islands. At the tip of the peninsula is Brean Down Fort, built back in 1865. Brean Down is now owned by the National Trust and is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Visit the fort. Well worth the views.

Excellent summit, run from either the car park below or over the ridge from Weavering Down. The top is rocky with great views over towards the Mendips, out to Weston Super Mare and the sea and down the M5.

Dolebury Warren is the site of an Iron Age hill fort and was also occupied during the Roman period. Today the site still has many earthworks to explore and bands of rock which may have been the foundations of walls. As a runner the ridgeline is fun to run with a not too steep ascent and fun descent whichever way you run it. The Limestone Link trail goes along the summit and it makes a good addition to a Beacon Batch loop from Burrington Combe.
