    Tips

    September 14, 2022

    The highest point on the south coast of England, Golden Cap is named for its distinctive greensand summit, which looks gold from a distance. Great views from the top stretch along the undulating Jurassic Coast and Dorset countryside, and out to sea. At 627 feet (191 m) above sea level, it's a short but fairly challenging climb to the summit that gets slippery in wet weather.
