Hiking
Beacon Hill is one of the highest viewpoints in Dorset. Its tree-covered summit reaches 84m, and there is a public footpath running roughly north to south over the top. Historically, it was one of a series of beacons used to warn of the advancing Spanish Armada. It is a beautiful spot to stop for a picnic or a rest, with amazing views.
