This Highlight is in a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Dorset National Landscape
Standing at 915 feet (279 m) Lewesdon Hill is the highest point in Dorset. The trees open in places to reveal breathtaking views which stretch over Dorset, Devon, Somerset, and out to sea.
In spring, the woodland erupts into colour with bluebells and in autumn the golden leaves and fungi make it an enchanting place to explore. There are also remains of an Iron Age hill fort here. The site is in the care of the National Trust.
This double track and single track bridleway takes you over the northern slopes, and forms part of the Wessex Ridgeway Trail.
