Felton Hill

The walk up Felton Hill rewards you with views across Somerset that stretch for miles on a clear day. It's not a dramatic peak - nothing like the Pennines or Lake District - but it's a proper little climb from the surrounding countryside, and that's what makes it worthwhile. You get a genuine sense of elevation without needing specialist gear or spending half the day ascending.

From the summit you can pick out the broader landscape: rolling fields, the occasional church spire, and on a good day, sight lines that remind you why Somerset keeps people coming back. It's the kind of walk you can crack in an hour or so depending on which approach you take, making it ideal if you're staying at one of the nearby glamping spots like Somerset Glamping and want to stretch your legs without committing to a full day's hiking.

The climb itself is straightforward enough for families with older kids, though younger ones might find the gradient a bit much if they're not used to hills. Walkers will find it satisfies that urge to get up high without the pretension of somewhere more famous. Bring decent boots if it's been wet - the paths can get muddy and slippery.

It works well as part of a broader Somerset exploration. Pair it with walks around The Batch Campsite area or use it to break up a weekend based near Bristol. Go early if you're visiting in summer and want to avoid the afternoon crowds on the footpaths. Free to access, naturally, and you won't need planning beyond comfortable walking clothes and a decent pair of shoes.
