Hiking

While Dorset has more than its fair share of long barrows and other ancient burial mounds, Solomon's Quarter looks like a particularly fascinating example. Located in a field immediately north of Eastbury House, this intriguing arrangement of earth mounds form part of the original Eastbury park.

The mounds here may look very much like the tumuli that dot the landscape but they are actually false. Instead of ancient burial mounds, they were likely created by the owners of Eastbury for aesthetic purposes.
