Brent Knoll rises 137 metres (449ft) and is managed by the National Trust. It is a well-loved walking destination, known for its historical beacon lighting during royal jubilees and the crosses raised each Easter at its summit. From the top, visitors enjoy sweeping vistas of Somerset, including sights of Weston-super-Mare, Brean Down, the Bristol Channel, and the Hinkley Point construction site.
