Lovely views up lewesdon hill

Welcoming and refreshments good.

Good place to stop for a nice coffee and a flapjack.

At an elevation of 915 feet (279 meters), this is the highest point in Dorset, from where you can take in the beautiful surrounding countryside through the trees. For a long time, it was believed that Pilsdon Pen was the highest point in Dorset, but relatively recently, it was discovered that Lewesdon Hill stands two meters higher.

At the heart of the village, you'll find this lovely church, with its churchyard, of which the oldest parts are known to date back to the 12th century, in a Norman Romanesque style. During the Victorian era, it underwent significant restoration, so you can see signs of this period in its exterior appearance.

This hill takes its name from the Old English, meaning 'wheat hill.' It has a Roman fort of the Second Legion on a narrow east-west ridge, at an elevation of 210 meters.

lovely village to make a stop at

Standing at 915 feet (279 m) Lewesdon Hill is the highest point in Dorset. The trees open in places to 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. This double track and single track bridleway takes you over the northern slopes, and forms part of the Wessex Ridgeway Trail.
