メンベリーの絶景の山頂・トップ5

Wootton Hill is the high point in an area of woodland within the Dorset AONB. It's a nice place for a walk with a series of well-maintained footpaths.

Beautiful woodland! Take your rubbish and dog poo home to keep it that way. Thanks

This Iron Age hillfort is the smaller cousin of Lambert’s Castle, a little to the north. With ancient woodland and a fantastic spring bluebell display, Coney’s Castle is a peaceful little summit and one of numerous such hillforts in the area. Check out the earthwork ramparts on the north, south and east sides. The western edge used the natural slope of the hill as a defense. Managed by the National Trust, this hillfort is free to roam around and served by a car park. Its only downside is that there’s a road right through the middle of it.

Around 2,500-years-old, this Iron Age hillfort sits at the north end of the appropriately-named Lambert’s Castle Hill. You’ll find evidence of earthworks here and lovely views of the surrounding landscapes, particularly if you explore the entire hill. There’s a trig point to the south of the hillfort, at 840 feet (256 m). Lambert’s Castle is managed by the National Trust and is free to enter. There’s a car park to the south west and the Liberty Trail hiking path runs right through the middle of the fort.

An Iron Age hillfort, Musbury Castle occupies a very well chosen position. Standing on its summit, you’ll see the village of Musbury lying below with the Axe Valley flowing out beyond, all the way to Seaton. The English Channel glitters in the distance with Beer Head’s chalk cliffs on the horizon. This is one of the many fantastic viewpoints on the East Devon Way and can be reached easily from several directions on local footpaths.
