The Crook Peak walk leads you through quaint villages, verdant fields and lush woods to arresting rocky peaks. The walk offers fantastic 360° views from the Mendip Hills to the rolling hills of Somerset and the shimmering Bristol Channel, and on a clear day to North Devon and South Wales.

To discover the Mendip Hills, I would highly recommend the Crook Peak walk. In my opinion, it is one of the best walks in the Mendips. I enjoyed this walk on a clear sunny day and was awestruck by the spectacular views. The only drawback is the close proximity of Crook Peak to the motorway and the traffic hum disturbing this peaceful escape.
The Sugar Loaf walk is an intermediate walk with steep ascents. This circular walk takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours with regular stops and is 6 miles long. Closest toilets, shops and refreshments are available in Cross.
