Our verdict
The best view-per-step on the Mendips — thirty seconds from the car and the whole of Somerset unrolls below. Sunset here is a local institution. Ebbor Gorge is next door for the legs.
Open grassland on the Mendip scarp above Wookey Hole, marked by the carved Deerleap standing stones, with a vast view across the Levels to Glastonbury Tor and the sea.
Open access land under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act. You're free to roam on foot beyond the paths. Dogs on a short lead 1 March to 31 July and around livestock.
