ダーウェストンの絶景の山頂・トップ6

ベルヒル（標高258メートル）の頂上に立つと、多くの地元の人々やハイカーがブラックモア・ヴェールを代表する眺めと考える景色が広がります。この展望地点こそ、トーマス・ハーディがこの地域を「小さな酪農場の谷」と呼んだ理由を物語っています。

The trig point at Spetisbury Rings is a distinctive feature located on the summit of the ancient Iron Age hillfort, offering excellent panoramic views of the surrounding Dorset countryside and the Stour Valley. Location: The trig point is situated on the highest point of Spetisbury Rings (also historically known as Crawford Castle), an Iron Age hillfort just south of the village of Spetisbury, Dorset. Purpose: A trigonometrical station (or "trig point") is a concrete pillar used by the Ordnance Survey (OS) for the triangulation of Great Britain. They mark a point of high elevation and visibility, which is why they are often found on the summits of hills and mountains. Elevation: The hillfort's summit, where the trig point is located, reaches an elevation of approximately 81 metres (266 feet) above sea level.

Great place to hike/run all year round

Pop into the cricketers pub before or after your hike it’s in the village (shroton)

Stunning panoramic views from the trig check out the the Shack nearby for a good pint afterwards

Nice walking area and the shack has food and drink 😋 🍺

The hill is now a National Nature Reserve (NNR) with common plants including milkwort, salad burnet, horseshoe vetch, squinancywort, pyramidal orchid and wild thyme. Rarer species include bastard toadflax, meadow saxifrage, early gentian and dwarf sedge. Butterflies include dingy skipper, grizzled skipper, chalkhill blue and Adonis blue. In August 2014, Hambledon Hill fort was acquired by the National Trust for £450,000. The money to buy the hill had come from a Natural England grant and a legacy gift left to benefit Dorset countryside. The hillfort is a Scheduled Monument, as is the adjacent Neolithic causewayed camp.

Hambledon Hill is a prehistoric hill fort in Dorset, England, in the Blackmore Vale five miles northwest of Blandford Forum. The hill itself is a chalk outcrop, on the southwestern corner of Cranborne Chase, separated from the Dorset Downs by the River Stour. It is owned by the National Trust. Hambledon Hill is the first in a series of Iron Age earthworks,] which continues with Hod Hill, Spetisbury Rings, Buzbury Rings, Badbury Rings and Dudsbury Camp. The Iron Age port at Hengistbury Head forms a final Iron Age monument in this small chain of sites. The ramparts are a lot longer than you think, amazing fun getting around them all though.
