A high ridge of land overlooks the River Avon and may have provided the ideal spot for the landowners of Kingsweston House to view their ships arriving in port. It also provided a good spot for a triangulation pillar in the twentieth century. Such is the surrounding growth that the views from here are now compromised, especially in summer.
