Crook Peak is the rocky knuckle at the western end of the Mendips, its bare limestone crown rising just enough to open a wide view over the Somerset Levels to the sea. Open access, reached on foot from the villages below or along the West Mendip Way, which runs over the top. Worle station lies about 7km north.
