The summit is marked by a prominent earthen mound and offers a fantastic panoramic view, particularly of the surrounding Mendip Hills and the Glastonbury Tor in the distance.
Maes Knoll is primarily composed of limestone, particularly from the Carboniferous period, which lends the area its unique rocky outcrops and rich biodiversity. Look out for the intriguing fossils embedded in the rock if you fancy a little archaeology while hiking!
Glastonbury Tor, the Bristol Channel, and on a clear day, the South Wales mountains pop out on the horizon.
The name 'Maes Knoll' derives from Welsh, meaning 'field mound'. It’s a fitting name for a hill that has witnessed countless sunrises.
Historically significant for the magnificent views it provides. It's also believed to have been a site of ancient human activity, possibly linked to burial practices.
A delightful circular route that starts at the foot of the hill, meanders through picturesque pastures, and ascends to the summit for those panoramic views.
There is a small parking area at the base of Maes Knoll beside the minor road leading into the village of Bishop Sutton.
While there’s no direct public transport to the hill, nearby villages are served by local bus services; consider a bit of a walk from Bishop Sutton.
Amenities are quite basic; nearby Bishop Sutton offers a quaint cafe and public toilets in the village.
