The Black Down stone circle consists of five "totems" built from local Forest Marble stone. One is aligned with true north, and the other four with midwinter and midsummer solstice sunrises and sunsets. In good weather at each of these times, the suns full disc will shine through the opening of the totems, lighting up the central rock of Portland stone, providing a modern take on ancient monuments.

A weird name considering it's just a small car park. but, it's free, and if you're smitten by free things, you'll be smitten by this corner. lol

Spectacular views! And a pat on the back for climbing.

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)

Set of pillars with gaps in looking onto a stone in the middle.

The remains of the old Market Cross from the 15th century, standing at the junction of Dorchester Road and Church Road. It consists of a square base and the lower part of a rough-hewn square stem, the whole thing standing about 5 feet high. It has beaded angles and on the west face are the much-weathered figures standing on a corbelled projection.

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.

The Hardy Monument is 22m high and was completed in 1844 to recognise the achievements of Sir Thomas Hardy, Flag Captain for lord Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar. It's now managed by the National Trust. Amazing views from here over Weymouth, Portland and along the coast as well as inland.
