Terrain:

The terrain for the Crook Peak walk in Somerset includes steep, rocky, and uneven grassy paths during the ascent to the summit. The limestone bedrock means paths can be loose underfoot in places. The summit area is exposed and can be very windy. Paths can become slippery when wet, especially on the limestone sections. Strong, sturdy footwear with good grip is essential for safely navigating this Somerset hill.

Dog Notes:

Crook Peak in Somerset is a popular place for energetic dogs that enjoy a good climb and open spaces. The open downland offers room to run, but ensure good recall due to the frequent presence of grazing livestock (often sheep or cattle are used for conservation grazing – keep dogs on leads near them), steep drops from some path edges, and other walkers. Be mindful of adders in warmer months (keep dogs out of dense undergrowth). During the bird nesting season (spring/summer), it's good practice to keep dogs to paths to protect ground-nesting birds. Remember to bring water for your dog, as natural sources are scarce on the hill when undertaking this Somerset walk.
