Small National Trust car park with honesty box, short walk if steep in places up a slightly gravelled grass path. Church is interesting, bars across to deny access but it didn't stop some people. Views on a good day are superb. No 'what you can see' stone, but Glastonbury Tor was visible in the distance. Well worth a stop off.

Lovely little walk with outstanding views in all directions out over the Somerset Levels. A great viewpoint for scenic photos and also a great spot to see starling murmurations in the winter months. There is a spacious car park and a gate through to the mound. The paths are quite steep and can be slippery in wet weather so take car. On top of the mound is the ruins of a church, which are quite atmospheric. Sheep are often found around the mound so take car if you have a chasey type of dog.

We came here one late sunny afternoon, in semi lockdown. No one was out, easy parking and it isn’t too far to the top. The sheep were out and were very inquisitive.
Great old building at the top, lovely views of the Somerset levels.
Definitely worth the trip.

OK so the only thing I didn’t like was all the sheep poo. There’s tons of it, as sheep roam the whole site. They could even go inside the church past the barriers if they really wanted to. There was sheep poo in the whole field and it was even around the whole church itself. Like EVERYWHERE. It’s really really easy to step in the mess as well that they leave behind. As this site is held by the English trust I am surprised that there is no cleanup procedure in place due to the sheep.
The church itself looks amazing and is a bit of a climb up a hill so if someone has mobility issues it probably will be near impossible for them to climb up the hill without help as it’s steep.

Burrow Mump is a prominent hill where at the summits is the ruins of a church. The church was built on top of an earlier medieval church and also now serves as a war memorial with a plaque to those who lost their lives in the Second World War. Despite the ruinous state, the church building is photogenic on the hill on a backdrop of clear skies. It’s worth the hike up the hill to see the near complete tower.
The site also has a car park, so the visit also offers a chance to stop when touring around Somerset.

Parking is nice and easy right at the bottom. Through a gate and up you climb. It is steep whichever way you go up and quite muddy (the car park is muddy too) so best take a change of shoes. Quite slippery too after a rain so take care.
Views from the top are lovely and you can see Glastonbury Tor in the distance as well as the expanse of the levels.
Well worth the climb but probably not worth making a trip especially to see.

Did you know 'Burrow' and 'Mump' both translate as ' Hill'?
Often dotted with sheep or cattle, the steep walk to the monument (St Michael's Church), on top of this natural hill is well worth the effort. Views across the Somerset Levels are fantastic, whether or not the land happens to be flooded at the time. There is a small car park at the base of the hill, where a voluntary donation box is situated. The hill is used to sledge down by those brave enough, during the Winter months (if we are lucky enough to have snow).
When I first relocated to Somerset, I lived in a village within a few miles of Burrowmump and was quite surprised at how many local people had not experienced climbing the hill and seeing the most amazing views from the top. It's fantastic for spotting wildlife; deer, badgers, foxes, herons and other birds can be seen in the fields below and you can literally see for miles and miles.
Burrowmump is well worth a visit - children love it - they enjoy racing up the hill and exploring the ruins of the church. Although there are no facilities here, there is a nearby pub where refreshments are served. The church at the bottom of the hill is worth a visit as well - if it's locked, there will be instructions for collecting the key on the door.

Great views and an interesting vibe here. It was nice that there was no one else here when I visited, which made the visit extra tranquil. Shame to see a bit of litter and a few bottles laying around, as well as some carved graffiti, but nothing unexpected. Not a climb for the faint hearted but definitely worth a visit if you are able, on a nice day it would be a nice place to just sit and take lift in

The title speaks for itself really.
We were staying very close by to Burrow Mump and thought we would have a nice walk up to Burrow Mump. The field is literally full of sheep and sheep muck so you have to pick your way up to the top.

unless they upset any cows or sheep that graze on the mump occasionally, I have never needed to put my dogs on lead, it is a beautiful tranquil place
