Purn Hill

Our verdict

Five minutes up for a coastline panorama that outperforms the effort several times over. The A370 hums below; ignore it and look west.

A steep little limestone knoll where Mendip finally runs out at the Axe — flowery slopes, a sharp crest and sudden views of Brean Down and the sea.
