Burrow Mump
|
|
|
A striking natural hill rising up out of the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Burrow Mump rises to a height of 24 metres above the Levels, offering excellent views on a clear day. The Mump is topped by a romantic ruined 14th century church. For many years it was thought that the Mump was the site of a Norman motte castle, but this now seems unlikely.
