Montacute Road was rerouted through what is now the Agusta Park estate, leaving behind the original road as part of a footpath network. There is an old Victoria Lodge left to crumble, which was on the original junction of Lufton Road and Montacute Road

Well-preserved deserted medieval settlement of Whitcombe. Earthworks include hollow way, lynchets, small enclosures, house platforms and a pond. A gorgeous walk across the area with such a historic past.

Hollow Lane is a great example of a Hollow Way, a sunken lane typical of this area of the country. These ancient lanes are cut into the landscape but we're not entirely sure why. It could be simply due to erosion by booth people and animals over 100s of years, exacerbated by water run off. They may also have been cut initially to make animal heading easier and to provide protection from the weather. What ever the cause they make for very atmospheric riding!

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…

This is an amazing climb along a lane that carves between Hamdon and Butcher's Hill. You ride between thick woodland that makes you feel like you are entering another world. The climb is steady and not too hard on the legs.

Great atmospheric climb, nice and steady from memory…

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.
