Pentridge Hill, and its summit name Pentbury Knoll, sits above the village of Pentridge on the Cranborne Chase Plateau. Although the top is a modest 607 feet (185 m), you can still get excellent views. The Jubilee Trail, a long-distance footpath traversing Dorset, passes across the hill, as does the Hardy Way.
