At this location in Hawkridge Common is a wonderful viewpoint fit with a wooden viewing bench overlooking Aisholt Common.
As you venture towards this spot, you will stumble upon a fascinating relic of the past - an impeccably restored Lime Kiln dating back to the 1930s. This historical gem once played a vital role in the local lime production, churning out an impressive 5 to 8 tonnes per day, and stands today as a testament to the area's industrial heritage.
