Buckland Hill

Buckland Hill is a low hill in the
trig point though this is now within a dense conifer plantation and so no longer affords any outward views.[1] Buckland Hall
sits at the foot of the hill's afforested northwestern side.
Geology
The upper parts of the hill are formed from sandstones and mudstones of the Brownstones Formation of the
Devonian Period. Small outcrops of this sandstone have been quarried on the hills northeastern flanks. The lower slopes are formed in the slightly older sandstones of the Senni Formation.[2]
Access
The eastern slopes of the hill are crossed hy a handful of public footpaths whilst parts are mapped as open country and therefore available for walkers to roam at will. Minor public roads gives access from the village.
