This is a great place to visit just for the view. It is worth the drive up from the coast road. In the Spring there are carpets of bluebells. On a rough day you will get blown about as it gets very windy up here ! I have never climbed to the top of the Monument as there are too many steps and I am getting too old. ! There is an interesting information board about Admiral Hardy who served with Nelson at the battle of Trafalger. There are plenty of tracks to walk and you might be lucky enough to see the Belted Galloway cows. Beautiful animals who like having their photos taken as long as you don't get too close. It's what I call a "food for the soul" place. Well worth a detour for an hour if you are passing the area.

As a Thomas Hardy fan no visit to Dorchester would be complete without a visit to Thomas Hardy's statue.
