About this park

Welcome to Ham Hill Country Park, a truly remarkable spot in Somerset offering breathtaking views, fascinating history, and wonderful walks for you and your canine companion! This expansive area boasts one of the UK's largest Iron Age hillforts, nestled amidst attractive wildflower meadows and featuring intriguing rocky outcrops made from local hamstone. The wide-ranging vistas stretch across the South Somerset Levels, the Mendips, and even as far as Exmoor on a clear day, providing a magnificent backdrop to your adventures. Ham Hill is a fantastic place for a dog walk, with plenty of space for your furry friend to explore. While dogs are very welcome, we kindly ask that owners help protect the abundant wildlife by keeping their pooches under control, especially around nesting birds and grazing animals. There are numerous paths, including an easy-to-use accessible route, ensuring everyone can enjoy the stunning scenery. You'll find plenty to keep you busy, from gentle strolls to more invigorating hikes. The main starting point for your visit is the Visitor Centre, where you can delve into the history and ecology of Ham Hill.
