The view of giant is best from the opposite hill. When I took my photo the chalk was very dull so viewing wasn’t brilliant but I know they restore him every now and again so he should be bright again.The climb up past the giant is very steep so if hiking poles would be a great addition and grippy footwear 👟

manor house with 17th century origins, extensively rebuilt after a fire in 1863 and remodelled in 1911. Inspiration for Weatherbury Farm in Thomas Hardy's novel, Far from the Madding Crowd. Grade I listed

Good place to stop and rest

Stopped here couple of times. Friendly and good service with good food. Made to feel very welcome even when very wet. Good local/community feel. Seemed to be a knitting master class on one visit - knit and natter perhaps. Say hello to the horse who will be pleased to see you - probably expecting food...

This provides a perfect viewpoint from which to observe the large hill figure of the Cerne Giant. It's at just the right distance, not too far, to see the figure in its entirety.

The Smiths Arms, formerly the smallest pub in England, Dating to 1420, originally a smithy but granted a licence to serve alcohol by Charles II who wanted a beer when he stopped to have his horse shod.

lovely view along the Cerne Valley and to the famous chalk hill cut figure of the Giant
