Brent Knoll sunset circular and pub! 2 miles (4/10 difficulty)

Details

Ever wondered what that massive hump standing on its own west of the M5 is and fancied getting to the top of it!? Brent Knoll is a great short walk of about an hour or so which can be squeezed in on a summer evening. Uphill for the first half and downhill but a bit flatter for the second, be prepared for a steep initial climb but not a long distance overall (hence 4/10), with the opportunity to stop and admire some great views of the Mendips, the Bristol Channel and spot Glastonbury Tor in the distance.

If you're interested in the history then look it up here, basically humans have used it for millennia... https://heritagerecords.nationaltrust.org.uk/HBSMR/MonRecord.aspx?uid=MNA138139

Afterwards about 7:30-8:00pm there is the chance to go for a drink at the Brent Knoll Inn just the other side of the A370. We'll meet at the entrance to St Marys Church but parking is a bit limited in that area so please respect locals. Otherwise there is much more space on the lane near the Inn - just allow enough time to walk over to the church entrance.
