Stunning views across the Dorset countryside to the sea. A good 1hr walk around the surrounding down and forest. A 2hr circular walk from where you are staying.

You can walk easily along the Ridgeway to Hardy Monument from the property, enjoying views across to Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland. On a clear day you can see The Fleet.

A short hike of approximately 3/4 hour from our cottage, this place offers spectacular views across the Jurassic coast on one side and across the rolling Dorset hills on the other side.
