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.

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.
