フランプトンの天然記念物・トップ20

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。

Dominating the Dorset landscape, Maiden Castle is one of Europe’s largest and most complex Iron Age hillforts. Its massive, labyrinthine earthworks were engineered around 400 BC to protect a thriving community of hundreds. The site is famous for its "war cemetery," detailing a fierce struggle against the Roman Second Legion in 43 AD. Today, its sweeping ramparts remain a masterclass in ancient defensive architecture.

Great place to stop for coffee and cake, opens at 10am

It is very impressive to walk along the extensive ramparts and enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside.

Not easy to get to, but a great burial mound! We only found the easier access on the way back.

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 👟

Car park at the beach is relatively cheap. toilets are 24 hours open and clean. The shingle beach is...well, a nightmare for miles upon miles of relentless trudging.
