Askerswell Village

Highlight • Settlement

This sleepy Dorset village is lovely to stroll around. With thatched cottages, a pretty church and quiet lanes, Askerswell is a good example of Dorset's historical settlements. From here, it's easy to hike to the hillfort, Eggardon Hill.

View from Eggardon Hill

Highlight • Summit

Nice hill - surface is a bit rough in places. That is what accounts for my slow speed going up :-)
