Ham Hill can be used for many recreational activities including walking, horse riding, mountain biking and orienteering. Please select one of the articles below to find out more. Warning In the summer months a plant called wild parsnip grows on Ham Hill. The plant is tall with yellow upside-down umbrella shaped flowers. Avoid getting the sap from this plant on your skin as it can cause quite a severe red rash, and if this is then exposed to sunlight it can cause blistering. If your skin comes up in a rash or blisters after visiting Ham Hill do not be alarmed - cover up your skin so that it is not exposed to sunlight, and seek medical attention if rash/blisters do not start to reduce within a few days. Please also be aware of ticks (small parasites) that can be picked up whilst walking in long grass and bracken in particular. Please visit the Lyme Disease Action website for more information.
