However, such war memorials, which one encounters so frequently along the way, regardless of nationality, language, or name, are always a testimony – still significant and relevant today – to the horrors of war and tyranny. They therefore all have two essential functions, and this continues anew for each generation: -1- To commemorate and remember the victims -2- To remind people of the need to maintain peace

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.

Fascinating Ham Hill is well worth a visit, being at once a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, an Iron Age hill fort, a Roman site, a Local Nature Reserve and a country park.

Somerset and Dorset are riddled with strip lynchets and some examples are particularly eye-catching. Best viewed from a distance, strip lynchets were a type of earthwork commonly used in ancient field systems, mainly in southern Britain. Like terraces in other countries, it’s thought that strip lynchets were made to increase the agricultural land available in hilly areas. There’s also a theory that they came about as a result of repeated ploughing. These ones can be seen from the south, on the southern side of Brympton Hill.
