This new walk ambles ambles through rural landscapes to the south of Bruton, visiting pretty Pitcombe Church. Cows and sheep, a couple of tricky stiles and two short steep descents make this a moderate but not a challenging walk. 5 miles (8 km), two to two and a half hours.

From the southern flank of Creech Hill, the view extends from Alfred’s Tower in Wiltshire to the east and Cranborne Chase in Dorset to the south, to the Brendon Hills and Devon border 40 miles west. Much of Somerset is visible in between. This new walk takes full advantage of the view but avoids the steep climbs of most routes up the Hill. 6 miles, 9.5 km, two hours 20 minutes to three hours, moderate.
