About Ham Hill Country Park

A 164 hectare (390 acre) Country Park centred on an Iron Age hill fort, which is managed by South Somerset District Council. There is extensive free car parking on site and plenty of open hilly landscape to explore, as well as shady woodlands and interesting old quarry areas.
Two big projects took place on Ham Hill in 2009, both funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund. The BBQ area has been developed with new disabled access benches, tarmac surfacing, hamstone BBQs & more bins.
Half of the all-ability trail that leads up to the war memorial via the stone circle has been resurfaced. The rest of the trail will be re-surfaced in 2010 and an outdoor classroom will be installed.
Our countryside team ran the Ham Hill Heritage Fayre on Saturday 5th September, which saw the return of many popular historic re-enactment groups and plenty of new ones, who brought the exciting history of the site to life for people of all ages. We were joined by BBC's wildlife enthusiast Johnny Kingdom who judged the wildlife themed fancy dress competition! We also ran a wide variety of events throughout the year, including bushcraft courses, wildlife walks, hands-on history and nature activities for children, and arts and crafts events.
We have led many school visits throughout the year - loo
