View of Eggardon Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

The top of Eggardon Hill...... Not that you can tell by the pic. Bad conditions this day made for poor viewing.

View from Eggardon Hill

Highlight • Summit

Nice hill - surface is a bit rough in places. That is what accounts for my slow speed going up :-)

Eggardon Hill West Loop

Highlight • Historical Site

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 …

Askerswell Village

Highlight • Settlement

This sleepy Dorset village is lovely to stroll around. With thatched cottages, a pretty church and quiet lanes, Askerswell is a good example of Dorset's historical settlements. From here, it's easy to hike to the hillfort, Eggardon Hill.
