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)

Melbury beacon is one of the highest points in north Dorset and the views are amazing I would recommend parking on spread eagle hill if you plan to hike x

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

Easier access to trig from the Blandford rd

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

One of the most beautiful places in the south of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and amazing views of Wiltshire and Dorset 🤩

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.

Win Green at 277 m is the highest point on Cranbourne Chase. The tree topped summit also has a Bronze Age hill barrow, topography stone and trig point. Lots of great running loops from here as well as easy parking close by.

Melbury Beacon at 263m is the trig pointed summit of Melbury Hill. There are superb views of Blackmore Vale and Cranborne Chase. It's a nice short run from the car park/layby on Spread Eagle Hill.

Melbury Beacon at 263m is the trig pointed summit of Melbury Hill. There are superb views of Blackmore Vale and Cranborne Chase. It's a nice short walk from the car park/layby on Spread Eagle Hill.

From this vantage point you get a good idea of the scale of the three ramparts which formed the fortifications of the hill. The steep banks and ditches would have made it a formidable defensive fort.

A very impressive Iron Age hill fort.

Win Green hill at 277m is the highest point on Cranborne Chase. The trig point affords panoramic views apart from the bit blocked by the little clump of trees on the summit. The beech trees are growing on a Bronze Age bowl barrow. It's managed by the National Trust and is often busy because it's close to a car park. Still very nice though!

This is a great 6 mile 2 hour walk running through the glorious Rushmore Estate. Not a road to cross or walk on except those in the estate. Nice for dogs but they need to be kept on a lead for part of the walk due to animals.

Amazing views over the Stour and Lwerne valleys, as well as Blackmore Vale and the Fontmell & Melbury Downs. Well worth a hike and picnic on a sunny day. You can even ride your bike up when dry.

A parking area to the east of here on Spread Eagle Hill can be used to access the walk to the Beacon.

The highest point in the walk with views virtually 360 degrees
