If it has rained a lot, then recommend if you want to go up and down a different way, you ascend from the north and descend on the south. The south has steps; the north is slippery and steep and needs trail shoes if not dry for some time. If only going up and down, do from the south.
On a clear day, there are great views - Glastonbury, the Quantocks, Exmoor, the Welsh coast and the Brecon Beacons and the Mendips.
It was once an Iron Age fort; the Romans called it "the Isle of Frogs" as it looked like a squatting frog from some angles and in those days, the marshes had not been drained. And at Easter, on the east side, a local group erects three crosses.
