The village covers quite a large area with the larger part close to the B3151 which runs from Street towards Somerton. Kilima is in the \"Dundon\" part of the village which is some way away on the western foothills of The Beacon which is an iron age hill fort, designated as an ancient monument.Dundon Beacon is a special and species-rich nature reserve, managed by Somerset Wildlife Trust, now being returned to ancient oak woodland with managed coppice and restored grass downland. It's accessed by a footpath and is as pleasant a country walk as can be found. Kilima looks directly onto this hill which shelters it from the east. It also looks westwards towards 'Lollover Hill, ' reputably the viewing point of the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685. Between these hills and close to Kilima is Compton Dundon church.
