    Tips

    April 2, 2023

    Melbury Beacon at 263m is the trig pointed summit of Melbury Hill. There are superb views of Blackmore Vale and Cranborne Chase. It's a nice short walk from the car park/layby on Spread Eagle Hill.

      A parking area to the east of here on Spread Eagle Hill can be used to access the walk to the Beacon.
