    Melbury beacon is one of the highest points in north Dorset and the views are amazing I would recommend parking on spread eagle hill if you plan to hike x

      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 run from the car park/layby on Spread Eagle Hill.
