Best places: Hiking areas in Taunton, United Kingdom

Stand-alone hill topped by a landmark 15th-century tower, with views over 3 counties and Wales.

👍 Enjoyed the north gorge walk going down to Cheddar. Free parking at the top with a moderate walk along the path - not slippery or dangerous but have decent shoes on. Allow about an hour. There is a south gorge walk too to make it a circular walk or walk back on the road - stunning views on all route...

Cathedral-like caves with 9000 years of human history that gave its name to England's famous cheese.

👍👍 Exhilarating walk with interesting views. Added bonus of free car park but get there early.

👍👍 Fantastic place to stop off on the way to Glastonbury Tor part of St Michael's line, not too difficult to climb and lovely views at the top. There is even a car park too what more can you ask for?

An arboretum & wild gardens in the grounds of a grand house, most of it destroyed by fire in 1894.

👍 Great place to visit for a day out. You can pay to do the attractions, but the cliff top walk is free if you access it via the footpath near Lion’s Rock and come down via Jacob’s Ladder. Otherwise it’s £6.50 per adult to go up Jacob’s Ladder. There is parking available in the Gorge but this is typic...

👍👍 We walked past here doing part of the south coastal path (west bay to golden cap) cloudy day but still lovely to see the views and have hike up. Not a bad hill to walk up, we didn't find it difficult at all. Can get blowy on the top and no shelter from the rain if it comes in.

👍👍 Just the cutest place! Parking available at the village hall for a donation in the well next to the forge. Nice flat easy walk to the beach where there is then a cafe. Beach is pebbles and dog friendly but not ideal for dogs with the pebbles as they are. The village is just beautiful and its lovely...

👍👍 Fabulous walks and incredible views

👍👍 Excellent ride for people living closer to Bristol, have camping spots

Mysterious, club wielding, naked male figure, of indeterminable age, cut into a chalk hillside.

👍👍 Great accessible spot on the Quantocks to enjoy amazing views.

👍👍 Though the screenshot below suggests otherwise, it is not a very steep walk up from the NT car park (if we could do it, then most could), but if you do then you are rewarded with some lovely views

👍👍 Always a pleasure visiting a pagan monument. The local Christians have erased the history regarding the giant. It was likely built circa 700-900AD to honor the god Thor. Standing tall with his club and erect phallic symbol. Thor was a popular fertility icon and the women would once a year, during th...

👍👍 We took a wrong turn on the way to street.. Lovely suprise! Stopped at the focal/view point, busy, small parking but beautiful scenery. Have saved coordinates to revisit to walk up the hill.

👍👍 My favourite place. Best views on the area. Great for walking or hacking !!

👍👍 A regulat haunt for walking my dog. Lovely woodland walks, stream and waterfall. Highly recommend.
