Wills Neck

385mM Marilyn

Wills Neck is a Marilyn, 385m high, in the Quantock Hills National Landscape, and also counts as a HuMP. The Marilyns are hills anywhere in Britain and Ireland with at least 150 metres of prominence, whatever their height.

Bishop's Lydeard is the nearest station, 3.8 mi (about 5 to 5.5 mi on foot): a full day on foot there and back. From Bishop's Lydeard it's about 2 to 2.5 hours to the summit, 1 in 19 on average. Taunton is next, 7.2 mi (about 9.5 to 10.5 mi on foot), and 3 stations are within 10 miles in all.

Wills Neck is the highest summit on the Quantock Hills and one of the highest points in Somerset, England. Although only 1261 ft (384 m) high, it qualifies as one of England's Marilyns. It is about 8 miles (13 km) north west of the historic market town of Taunton.
