Fontmell Down is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a nature reserve located in Dorset, England, within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is known for its beautiful chalk downland, rich biodiversity, and panoramic views. The down is a steep, sinuous flank of a chalk plateau, offering extensive views across the Blackmore Vale, a landscape featured in the novels of Thomas Hardy. The chalk was formed about 100 million years ago from microscopic plants, and the down's steep-sided dry valleys were created by periglacial meltwater erosion during the last Ice Age. Earthworks visible on the down are much more recent, including those from a golf course that was present in the 1930s. In 1645, the downs were the site of an assembly of 3,000 Dorset "Clubmen," who were local residents protesting against the armies of both sides in the English Civil War.

Good climb, was across fields but fine today as they’ve been harvested. Might have been tricky earlier in the year

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

Amazing views of the hills. If your lucky you can see the gliders circling above from the Wing Farm Airfield

an absolutely beautiful halfway point to sit and have a snack or two. the views are breathtaking.

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.

Cold Kitchen Hill has a trig point at 257 m. Alfred's Tower at Stourhead is visible, as well as vast swathes of Wiltshire and the West Country.

Brilliant downhill. Mostly grass so I wouldn't fancy it uphill!
