HAM HILL Country park

HAM HILL Country park Ham Hill - 427 acres of stunning country park. The new visitor centre and café are now open. The site is managed by South Somerset District Council.

Known for its golden hamstone quarries, being the home of the UK's largest Iron Age hillfort, and its many glorious walking routes. Ham Hill Country Park
Ham Hill is a 164 hectare (390 acres) country park centred on an Iron Age hillfort. There is extensive parking on site and plenty of open hilly landscape to explore. Ham Hill has peaceful, leafy woodlands and glades, grassy meadows, old quarry areas and a fantastic landscape of hilly mounds left from Victorian quarrying days on the hill. It is these hills that makes Ham Hill so unique and such an interesting place to come and visit, with a great network of paths to explore.
