About Nyland Hill

Standing 163 metres above the Cheddar Valley, this modest peak delivers views that punch well above its height. The climb from Cheddar itself is a proper workout - steep enough to get the heart pumping but manageable for most reasonably fit walkers. On a clear day, you'll spot the Bristol Channel stretching towards Wales, with the Mendip Hills rolling away in all directions.

Walkers and photographers will get the most from Nyland Hill, though families with older children who don't mind a climb will find it rewarding too. The path can be muddy after rain, so decent walking boots are wise. Allow about two hours return from Cheddar centre, including time to catch your breath at the top.

It's free to access year-round, which makes it a budget-friendly addition to any Mendips holiday. The summit itself is fairly small - don't expect to spend hours up there - but the panoramic views justify the effort. Early morning or late afternoon light makes for the best photos and fewer crowds.

If you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Bucklegrove Holiday Park or Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa, this makes for a lovely morning walk before exploring Cheddar Gorge. Just remember to pack water - there's nowhere to buy refreshments on the hill.
