A 137-m-high hill roughly halfway between Weston and Bridgwater. Aside from offering visitors a magnificent view over the Polden Hills, Glastonbury Tor, the Mendip Hills, and Cheddar Gorge, it is also archaelogically important: it has been a human settlement since the Bronze Age, as well as an Iron Age hill fort.
Brent Knoll is a 137-metre-high (449 ft) hill on the Somerset Levels, in Somerset, England. It is located roughly halfway between Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from the Bristol Channel coast at Burnham-on-Sea. At the foot of the hill are two villages East Brent and Brent Knoll, which takes its name from the hill but was previously called South Brent. The hill's size and isolated position on the levels mean that it dominates the landscape and can be seen for many miles, and its prominence is emphasised to travellers because the Bristol to Taunton railway line, M5 motorway, A370 and A38 roads all pass within a mile or less from its base.

Nature reserve covered by grasslands, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Aside from its natural value, it also has archaeological points of interest: a disused lime kiln, a sheepwash, and a powder house.
Small church on a hill surrounded by a graveyard. It's worth the hike up hill to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. The church itself isn't open very often, but the view is worth the effort.
National Trust-owned peninsula 2 miles to the south of Weston, jutting out into the Bristol Channel. The steep cliffs made it the perfect location for an Iron Age hill fort, and for a Victorian fort to defend against the French navy. It also features defensive positions dating from the Second World War, including a searchlight bunker to illuminate airborne targets at night, a torpedo launching facility, a naval gun battery emplacement, and barracks. Reaching the fort from the Weston-super-Mare station takes an 18-km (!) detour to find a crossing over the river Axe.
