The top of Eggardon Hill...... Not that you can tell by the pic. Bad conditions this day made for poor viewing.

The church dates from Norman times and the chancel arch is of Early Norman architecture. Outside is a very rare thirteenth century Dole Table, from pre-Reformation times when charitable doles of bread were distributed to the poor. Inside the south entrance is a fifteenth century carving of a king and crowned woman giving bread to children. The north and south aisle date from the fourteenth century, and there are two hagioscopes (squints) on the southern side of the chancel arch, which would have given a view of the high alter. Above the squints there is a fifteenth century doorway, which when reached by a wooden stair, would have led to the roof loft. The south doorway within the porch is also fifteenth century and features elaborate carving.

Farmer has been doing a bit of landscaping to this section. Logs have been moved to the side and are behind an electric fence.

Eggardon Hill is a prehistoric hillfort, and sits at 827ft above sea level. The hill provides extensive views of the surrounding countryside and the English Channel to the south. The southern half of the hill is owned and maintained by The National Trust (which permits free public access throughout the year) with the northern part in private ownership. The large multivallate hillfort dates from the Iron Age. The surviving earthworks enclose an area of approximately 21ha in total. The defences consist of three ramparts with two medial ditches with additional outer banks to the north-west and east. Ditches and counterscarp banks provide additional protection at the staggered entrances and to the south west where there is an additional outwork. classified as a Hump (hill of any height with a drop of 100 metres or more on all sides)

There are a couple of logs just to the left of this shot which makes a good stop off point

This footpath to the west of Eggardon hill creates a nice short loop from the car park at the top of the hill. The walking is along a grassy path across fields, down the steep bank which forms the front face of the hill and back up to the hill via south Eggerdon Farm & North Eggerdon Farm.
