Burrow Mump, Somerset

The Somerset county town of Taunton.

Burrow Mump is one of the most distinctive features of the Somerset landscape – a natural hillock - which unexpectedly rises out of  the flatness of the surrounding Somerset Levels. On the top of Burrow Mump sits the picturesque ruins of St Michael’s church, which during the nineteenth century was turned into something of a folly. Nearby is Athelney and the site of the 'King Alfred who burnt the cakes' legend.
