Brent Knoll, Summit and hill fort in Somerset, England.
Brent Knoll rises 137 meters above the Somerset landscape, standing between Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater, visible from considerable distances across the region.
Before the drainage of the Somerset Levels, this elevation existed as an isolated island, known as the Isle of Frogs during ancient times.
The name combines Old English elements, with Brent possibly indicating steepness and Knoll referring to the hill's distinctive shape and prominence.
Visitors can access multiple walking paths to reach the summit, where a Jubilee memorial stone marks the highest point at 139 meters.
The geological formation consists of Blue Lias rocks from the Jurassic period, exposed through erosion by the waters of the Bristol Channel.
