The hill is now a National Nature Reserve (NNR) with common plants including milkwort, salad burnet, horseshoe vetch, squinancywort, pyramidal orchid and wild thyme. Rarer species include bastard toadflax, meadow saxifrage, early gentian and dwarf sedge. Butterflies include dingy skipper, grizzled skipper, chalkhill blue and Adonis blue. In August 2014, Hambledon Hill fort was acquired by the National Trust for £450,000. The money to buy the hill had come from a Natural England grant and a legacy gift left to benefit Dorset countryside. The hillfort is a Scheduled Monument, as is the adjacent Neolithic causewayed camp.

Came here in a storm...... wow was it fun on the ramparts!!! Pretty sure I spent most of my time on my backside. Amazing views even with bad weather

Hambledon Hill is a prehistoric hill fort in Dorset, England, in the Blackmore Vale five miles northwest of Blandford Forum. The hill itself is a chalk outcrop, on the southwestern corner of Cranborne Chase, separated from the Dorset Downs by the River Stour. It is owned by the National Trust. Hambledon Hill is the first in a series of Iron Age earthworks,] which continues with Hod Hill, Spetisbury Rings, Buzbury Rings, Badbury Rings and Dudsbury Camp. The Iron Age port at Hengistbury Head forms a final Iron Age monument in this small chain of sites. The ramparts are a lot longer than you think, amazing fun getting around them all though.

Hod Hill is fabulous at any time but in my opinion is best visited at cowslip time - you’ll never have seen so many in one place in your lifetime. It’s simply stunning.

Once you're at this well-known junction, also known as the Dorsetshire Gap, it doesn't matter which direction you head because the landscape in this area is breathtaking.

The Dorsetshire Gap is a very atmospheric location, very easy to imagine Medieval traders passing through it. Be aware that the bridleways too and from it are tough, the tracks marked on the maps may not exist on the ground, cycling can be hard an slow, Still worth a visit.

From this vantage point you get a good idea of the scale of the three ramparts which formed the fortifications of the hill. The steep banks and ditches would have made it a formidable defensive fort.

A very impressive Iron Age hill fort.

Amazing views over the Stour and Lwerne valleys, as well as Blackmore Vale and the Fontmell & Melbury Downs. Well worth a hike and picnic on a sunny day. You can even ride your bike up when dry.

Rising above the village of Stourpaine and the River Stour, Hod Hill is one of the chain of Iron Age hillforts that stretch from Hambledon Hill to Hengistbury Head. Hod Hill is also home to a Roman fort and is now managed by the National Trust. Hod Hill has deep ramparts making it a fun place to walk, especially for children. Grassy and abounding in insects, butterflies and plantlife, spring and summer bring out the best of the landscape here. The Stour Valley Way path goes right through the centre of the fort, providing fantastic views on this mostly low-lying trail.

The Dorsetshire Gap is, or Dorset Gap as it's known for short, is a dip in the Dorset Downs chalk ridge between Nordon Hill and Nettleton Tout, close to the settlement of Higher Melcombe. A number of different bridleways run through and over this pass, including the ancient Wessex Ridgeway. It's thought that this point was part of a network of trading routes that date back as far as the Middle Ages.

Hambledon Hill is hailed as one of the best-preserved Iron Age hill forts in Britain and is one of the most iconic Neolithic landscapes in Europe. Towering 623 feet (190 m) above the Blackmore Vale and the River Stour, you are afforded breathtaking views which stretch into the neighbouring counties of Wiltshire and Somerset. The site, which is managed by the National Trust, is also considered one of the best examples of an unimproved calcareous grassland in England and is home to many rare plant and animal species.

Bit of history. You can rest under the tree good in the sun and the rain. Lots of sun at moment. httpww.ancienttreeforum.co.uk/ancient-trees/ancient-tree-sites-to-visit/south-west/tolpuddle-martyrs-tree-2/
