Traditionally thought of as Dorset's highest peak (277m), until it was recently found to be a few feet shy of its neighbour, Lewesdon Hill. Height notwithstanding, the Iron Age hill fort atop this flat-topped hill provides great views over the lush Marshwood Vale in west Dorset. Walk the ancient ramparts in a circular loop to take in the 360 degree panorama across the gentle rolling hills, whilst buzzards wheel overhead. Reach it off the B3164 Broadwindsor road.
Park in Wharf Lane Car Park and follow the details on the link, courtesy of Visit South Somerset. This delightful walk takes in surrounding countryside and is mainly on footpaths. There is one steep hilll but worth the effort for the stunning views!
This 28-mile trail starts at Ham Hill in Somerset, one of the largest Iron Age hillforts in Europe, and finishes at Lyme Regis in Dorset, spanning two counties. It follows the footsteps of villagers from the region as they made their way to join the Protestant Monmouth rebellion at Lyme in 1685.
Monthly walks are arranged by locals who ask for volunteers to help with clearing overgrown footpaths whilst enjoying the scenery. Take a look at the chaffcome.com website for details of walks in the area.
