There is a very diverse array of important wildlife species in this reserve, including the great white egret, a rare and majestic bird that was once extinct in the UK but has now made a comeback thanks to the reserve's conservation efforts. If you're interested in nature and wildlife, then this is an absolute must-see if visiting the Glastonbury area.

The reserve is a perfect place to unwind and relax and a must-see if in the area.

The A frames have been replaced with gates so it's much easier for bikes to enter now.

Lollover Hill with its trigpoint at 90m isn't massively high but it's position on the edge of the Somerset levels means it offers 360 views. There is a nice trail up to and around the hill which is nice for a short walk, or you can combine it with nearby Wildlife Trust managed Dundon Hill.

Dundon Hill or Dundon Beacon is a Iron Age hill fort and nature haven. Managed by the Somerset Wildlife Trust this small area of higher land is ringed by ancient oak woodland and capped with a meadow. The views from the southern end of the plateau are far reaching across the levels where you get a gap in the trees.

Collard Hill is owned and managed by the National Trust, it's free to access with no facilities. The NT opened this area in partnership with the Large Blue butterfly conservation group as this is one of the very few areas that you might see this rare butterfly. The grassy hillside is a great place to walk with trees to the north and vast views across the Somerset levels in the south.

Lovely little cafe at the Avalon marshes centre.

Deep in the Somerset Levels, the wetlands at Ham Wall Nature Reserve teem with wildlife. If you're lucky you might spot rare water voles and otters, bitterns and kingfishers, and huge flocks of murmurating starlings, all with views to Glastonbury Tor.
