    Hiking

    The highest point in the Purbeck Hills, Swyre Head offers fantastic views in every direction. It lies just south west of Kingston village and can be easily reached thanks to a footpath. The Hardy Way long-distance trail also goes to the summit, where you'll find a trig point.

    Trig point pillar (S2578)

    Unusually, the nearby tumulus is actually higher than the trig!
