The steps are quite steep. The bay is shaped like a v. So what you go down you have to go back up again.

This will give you a really good leg workout, and get your lungs pumping. regardless of what side you are attacking it from. But the views are definitely worth it.

Trig pillar ‘Woolsbarrow Camp’

Swyre Head is the highest point of the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, on the south coast of England. The hill Swyre Head lies about 2 kilometres southwest of the village Kingston, about 5 kilometres south of Corfe Castle and 8 kilometres west of Swanage. Although not very high, its relative height is such that it just misses qualification as a Marilyn. The hill consists of Jurassic Formations and is not part of the extensive Southern England Chalk Formation. Swyre Head by Kingston should not be confused with another Dorset hill called Swyre Head, at an elevation of 322 ft, on the coast, located to the west of Durdle Door. The two Swyre Heads are about four hours walk apart from each other; that is 11 miles. The hill commands extensive views, including west past the Isle of Portland to Dartmoor, and east to the Isle of Wight, as well as north across the Purbeck Hills to Poole Harbour and the other Purbeck Marilyn, Nine Barrow Down. To the west, the folly of Clavell Tower can also be seen. Set back about half a mile from the coast, the hill is not on the South West Coast Path, but can be reached easily from the villages of Kingston or Kimmeridge. The hill has a trig point marked as 203 metres on Ordnance Survey maps, but a tumulus, now fully grassed over, forms the highest point, 208 metres (682 ft) above sea level.

Some absolutely breath taking views on a clear day.

What goes up must come down. These steps are just horrific if you are not fit. be careful if it has rained lately. they just become clay, and you don't want to walk on clay. poles are highly recommended

This spectacular and unspoilt coastal scene on the South West Coast Path is a favourite! The view looks southeast and is taken on the descent from the towering Rings Hill (165 m, 541 ft). The vista shows the pretty Warbarrow Bay, Warbarrow Tout (the limestone hill that protrudes into the sea on the southern edge of Warbarrow Bay), the peaceful green Tyneham Valley that meets the sea at Warbarrow Bay, and Gold Down (the grass ridge to the south of Tyneham Valley). This area is seldom busy and yet rivals the nearby Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door for quality of scenery. Be careful on the descent from Rings Hill as the path is steeper than it looks! If you are climbing Rings Hill from Warbarrow Bay the effort is definitely worth it.

The steps are steep and not the easiest for short legs.! However, the views and sense of satisfaction are worth it.

Bring £2 for the honesty box in the car park. The money goes towards maintaining the toilets.

Povington Hill, at 198 metres (650 ft) high, is one of the highest points on the chain of the Purbeck Hills in south Dorset on the southern coast of England. Its prominence of 107 metres (351 ft) means it is listed as one of the Tumps, although map sources suggest this honour should go to Ridgeway Hill further east. Povington Hill lies within the danger area of the Lulworth Ranges and is out of bounds during the week, but becomes a popular viewing point and picnic site at weekends and public holidays. From the top there are good views of Worbarrow Bay, the abandoned village of Tyneham, St. Aldhelm's Head, Swyre Head and the English Channel beyond Gad Cliff to the south. In good visibility Portland Bill may be seen. To the north the view extends over the firing ranges on the Dorset Heaths. The hill is largely treeless, being covered in rough pasture and scrubland.

Woolsbarrow Hillfort is located in a clearing in the forests of Bloxworth Heath. The nearest town is Bere Regis, about 3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 km) to the west-northwest of the hillfort. The heath is a popular walking area and the site can be reached by public footpath. Woolsbarrow is a slight univallate hillfort on a flat-topped knoll on the plateau of Bloxworth Heath, which separates the rivers Sherford to the east and Piddle to the west. The hillfort is marked by a single rampart about 20 feet (6.1 m) below the top of the gravel knoll and covers an area of around 2+1⁄4 acres (0.91 ha). The eastern part of the hillfort has been damaged by sand and gravel extraction, but much of it survives well and has the potential for further archaeological evidence to be uncovered. It is one of only about 150 slight univallate hillforts nationally and is of national importance.

Highest point on the Isle of Purbeck. Glorious views E to St Aldhelm’s and E to Kimmeridge Bay, and the Isle of Portland on a clear day.

Trig point pillar (S2578) Unusually, the nearby tumulus is actually higher than the trig!

Viewpoint overlooking the incredible coastline. The climb up to the viewpoint is steep and steady.

great place to watch the sunset

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.

Dating back to the 9th-5th centuries BC, this relatively low-lying hillfort rises out of Bloxworth Heath. The heath itself has plenty of hiking trails criss-crossing it as well as an abundance of insect, bird and wildlife. There's a trig pillar on top of the fort, at 220 feet (67 m) and if you ramble about the fort a little, you'll find interesting views of the undulating heathland.

Easily accessed by gravel fire roads along the Sika Trail.

Located on a gravel knoll, Woolsbarrow Fort can be found at the steepest point of Wareham Forest. It is a little known hill fort, being the smallest in south east Dorset. There are some incredible views to be seen at the top.
