ストークウェイクの天然記念物・トップ9

村を見下ろすようにそびえ立つのは、イギリスで最も「裕福な」ランドマーク、高さ180フィートのチョークの巨人です。彼は明らかにズボンと慎重さを忘れてしまいました。巨大なこん棒とさらに巨大な…エゴで丘に刻まれ、何世紀にもわたってハイカーを赤面させてきました。伝説によると、彼の「男らしさ」の上で眠ると生殖能力が高まると言われていますが、ほとんどの人は息を切らしたセルフィーで満足しています。彼は古代であり、恥知らずであり、間違いなくあなたに会えて本当に嬉しい唯一の丘です。

Great place to hike/run all year round

Great place to train if u are running a ultra mountain marathon

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

Definitely use poles on climb if hiking 🥾

The view of giant is best from the opposite hill. When I took my photo the chalk was very dull so viewing wasn’t brilliant but I know they restore him every now and again so he should be bright again.The climb up past the giant is very steep so if hiking poles would be a great addition and grippy footwear 👟

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.

Came here in a storm...... wow was it fun on the ramparts!!! Pretty sure I spent most of my time on my backside. Amazing views even with bad weather
