Road cycling

At 650 feet (198 metres), Povington Hill is one of the highest of the Purbeck Hills. Views extend to Worbarrow Bay, the abandoned village of Tyneham, St. Aldhelm’s Head, Swyre Head and the English Channel beyond Gad Cliff to the south.

Hiking

From Povington Hill, the view is so aggressively scenic it’s basically bragging. You’re staring down at Tyneham ghost village like a judgy deity, half-expecting a tiny, phantom peasant to look up and ask you for tax relief.
