The second-highest point in Dorset, Pilsdon Pen has the remains of an Iron Hill hillfort astride it as well as some magnificent views. By bike, you can get fairly close to the top although the actual summit is only accessible on foot via a footpath. Still, from the lane here you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

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.

Standing at 915 feet (279 m) Lewesdon Hill is the highest point in Dorset. The trees open in places reveal breathtaking views which stretch over Dorset, Devon, Somerset, and out to sea. In spring, the woodland erupts into colour with bluebells and in autumn the golden leaves and fungi make it an enchanting place to explore. There are also remains of an Iron Age hill fort here. The site is in the care of the National Trust. For more information, visit: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lewesdon-hill.
