    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.

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