About Boarsbarrow Hill

Rolling hills stretch endlessly in every direction from this modest Dorset summit, making the fairly gentle climb well worth the effort. Boarsbarrow Hill sits just inland from Bridport and offers proper countryside views without the tourist crowds you'll find at better-known peaks along the coast. The walk up takes about 20 minutes from the nearest parking spot, following well-worn paths through typical Dorset farmland. Once at the top, you'll understand why locals rate this spot - the panorama takes in the Jurassic Coast to the south and rolling downland stretching north towards Yeovil. Families with older children will manage the ascent easily enough, though it's not pushchair-friendly terrain. Dog walkers particularly love this hill as there's plenty of space to let pets roam freely. The summit itself is unmarked - no trig point or fancy viewpoint - which adds to its unspoilt character. Early morning visits reward you with the best light for photos and fewer muddy patches after rain. This makes a cracking addition to a Dorset holiday, especially if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Freshwater Beach Holiday Park or West Bay Holiday Park. Allow an hour for the round trip, longer if you fancy a proper countryside ramble.
