Brent Knoll
Brent Knoll is a HuMP, 139m high. The HuMPs are hills in Britain and Ireland with at least 100 metres of prominence, whatever their height.
Highbridge & Burnham-on-Sea is the nearest station, 2.7 mi (about 3.5 to 4 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Highbridge & Burnham-on-Sea it's about 1.5 hours to the summit. Weston-super-Mare is next, 6.4 mi (about 8.5 to 9 mi on foot), and 5 stations are within 10 miles in all.
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.
