By far the easiest trig if you're peak bagging. Oh why can't they all be this simple.

From Povington Hill, the view is so aggressively scenic it’s basically bragging. You’re staring down at Tyneham ghost village like a judgy deity, half-expecting a tiny, phantom peasant to look up and ask you for tax relief.

At 650 feet (198 metres), Povington Hill is one of the highest of the Purbeck Hills. Views extend to Worbarrow Bay, the abandoned village of Tyneham, St. Aldhelm’s Head, Swyre Head and the English Channel beyond Gad Cliff to the south.

This spectacular and unspoilt coastal scene on the South West Coast Path is a favourite! The view looks southeast and is taken on the descent from the towering Rings Hill (165 m, 541 ft). The vista shows the pretty Warbarrow Bay, Warbarrow Tout (the limestone hill that protrudes into the sea on the southern edge of Warbarrow Bay), the peaceful green Tyneham Valley that meets the sea at Warbarrow Bay, and Gold Down (the grass ridge to the south of Tyneham Valley). This area is seldom busy and yet rivals the nearby Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door for quality of scenery. Be careful on the descent from Rings Hill as the path is steeper than it looks! If you are climbing Rings Hill from Warbarrow Bay the effort is definitely worth it.
