Sandford Orcas sits beneath Holway Hill, where the summit stands at 172m. The village itself is full of English history, with the Manor house built around 1550 AD and the church of Saint Nicholas thought to be from the 13th century. Surrounded by the Dorset countryside, it is a beautiful place to explore and to embrace its distinctive characteristics.

Beacon Hill is one of the highest viewpoints in Dorset. Its tree-covered summit reaches 84m, and there is a public footpath running roughly north to south over the top. Historically, it was one of a series of beacons used to warn of the advancing Spanish Armada. It is a beautiful spot to stop for a picnic or a rest, with amazing views.

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.

Nice place for a short visit driving to Devon

Situated just a small walk from Glastonbury Centre, Glastonbury Tor Hill stands at a height of 158 m… The walk to the top is steep, and may require stops, but in general terms is only a small climb. The views are breath taking, on a clear day you can see across to the Bristol Channel. The views are amplified by the low land area which can be seen in every direction.

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…

A steep climb from either side of the hill, but free access and stunning views from the top.

The history of the tower on the Tor

Glastonbury Tor is a hill near Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building.[2] The entire site is managed by the National Trust and has been designated a scheduled monument.[1][3] The Tor is mentioned in Celtic mythology, particularly in myths linked to King Arthur, and has several other enduring mythological and spiritual associations. The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset Levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, but the method by which they were formed remains unexplained. Archaeological excavations during the 20th century sought to clarify the background of the monument and church, but some aspects of their history remain unexplained. Artefacts from human visitation have been found, dating from the Iron Age to Roman eras. Several buildings were constructed on the summit during the Saxon and early medieval periods; they have been interpreted as an early church and monks' hermitage. The head of a wheel cross dating from the 10th or 11th century has been recovered. The original wooden church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1275, and the stone Church of St Michael built on the site in the 14th century. Its tower remains, although it has been restored and partially rebuilt several times.

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.

The wind almost blew us away.
