Lots of history and worth a mooch about

Excellent food, either really good sandwiches or main meals. Very decent local beers and ciders. Well worth a detour but closed Monday and Tuesday

The monument at Athelney commemorates King Alfred the Greats occupation of the monastery and fort here in the late 800's. He is said to have hidden here when the rest of England was occupied by the Danes, Athelney at that time was a low-lying island within the Somerset levels. Alfred later raised an army and defeated the occupying forces at the battle of Edington in May 878.

The 43m high monument was built in 1767 to commemorate Sir William Pynsent, of the Pynsent Baronets. It was designed by Capability Brown for William Pitt. Legend has it that it was for his support on defeating the cider tax and is therefore locally known as the cider monument.

The prominent hill at Burrow Mump rises from the Somerset Levels, overlooking Southlake Moor in the village of Burrowbridge. It is a scheduled monument, and the ruined church on top of the hill is a Grade II listed building.

maybe worth the climb for the great views

A great community initiative that has just taken off (Spring 2021). The first pint has just been pulled and the cafe has just opened its indoor seating. Lovely eats and a warm welcome.

Rising above the village of Burrowbridge, this wonderfully named hill is a scheduled monument and is home to a Grade I listed ruined church on its summit. At 79 feet (24 m) high, it stands out from the flat land around and can be seen easily from the River Parrett Trail which passes by. Thanks to the Somerset Levels winter floods, Burrow Mump becomes somewhat of an island, like its cousin, Glastonbury Tor. A Norman motte and bailey castle was originally constructed here, but the only structure that remains is the impressive medieval church.
