Great views of Swanage from the top of the cliff looking southwest. Can get windy but it's also a good rest spot, especially after the climb from the beach.

Ballard Down is an area of chalk downland on the Purbeck Hills in the English county of Dorset. The hills meet the English Channel here, and Ballard Down forms a headland, Ballard Point, between Studland Bay to the north and Swanage Bay to the south.
Cliffs are prone to eroding so care must be taken if going near the cliff edges.
