    Looks like the highest point for miles and offers the most exciting decent when heading towards Shaftesbury with a series of super fast switchbacks, it’s like a scene from a descent of Alpe d’Huez, only, shorter and not as snowy!

      great views from the B3081 on Charlton Down. Either hard won after the long climb up the zig-zags and then the drag up the downs or the beginning of an awesome fast descent. The high point is about 263m which gives a good view in all directions.
