Lewesdon Hill

© National Trust A captivating view through the trees at Lewesdon Hill selected: © National Trust A captivating view through the trees at Lewesdon Hill The highest point in Dorset with views between the trees over Devon, Somerset and out to sea Standing at 915 feet (279 metres) Lewesdon Hill, along with nearby Pilsdon Pen, dominates the surrounding landscape. It's certainly an alluring hill fort, although being enclosed by woodland the views aren't uninterrupted, but the glimpses of the surrounding landscape you do get through the trees are worth the climb to the top. You can also see parts of the original Iron Age bank and ditches, and in more recent times it was the site for one of the Armada Beacons in 1588, used to warn of an impending attack by Spain.
