Lovely views up lewesdon hill

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.

The summit of this hill represents the second highest point in Dorset, and from here, you'll have breathtaking panoramic views. At the top, there was an Iron Age hillfort, which was excavated in the mid-20th century.

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.

St Michael's Hill is situated approximately 10-15 minute walk from the road going through Montacute village… There is a tower upon it, which you can access, and climb the spiral stairs to look out across southern Somerset. Worth a visit for the view, even if only once…

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.

Pilsdon Pen affords fine views over the rolling Dorset countryside. In clear conditions, you can see Golden Cap, Marshwood Vale, and the ocean to the south, Exmoor and the Quantocks to the west, the Hardy Monument to the east, and the Polesden and Mendip hills to the north. Atop the hill is an Iron Age fort and archaeologists have found flint tools here that date back 10,000 years. The hill is in the care of the National Trust.

St Michael's Hill affords breathtaking views over the village of Montacute and the serene Somerset countryside. On the summit, you find St Michael's Tower, a folly built in the 18th century. Shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066, a castle was built on the summit. However, nothing remains of the castle today.
