Bulbarrow Hill is probably the best known hill in Dorset and is a chalk hill site of an Iron Age hill fort - the name comes from barrows or burial mounds on the hill. Standing at 274m (899ft) high and giving the longest view in Dorset, with spectacular views over five counties, Bulbarrow Hill is the second highest point in Dorset and is a very popular beauty spot.
A short stroll of just over one and a half miles which takes you along a railway path to Fiddleford Mill, returning over farmland. Take advantage of a lovely picnic spot next to the river and enjoy the scenery.
