| Hoped to park near Stoke Knapp Farm, but parking here very difficult, so ended up parking about 1km down the road near Lewesdon Farm. Followed road to Stoke Knapp and then ascended Wessex Ridgeway path to the west. Lovely views to north over green rolling countryside. Track narrows to a path. At ST 437014 turned south on easy to follow footpath to the grassy summit plateau. Beautiful deciduous woodland, with sufficient spacing and gaps to allow good views of nearby hills. Dorset was the only historical English county I had not visited, so glad to make it to its modest but lovely high point. Returned same way. Walked solo (Mrs waiting in car!). Weather mostly bright, but with squally showers all day, which I luckily missed during the walk. A lot of rainwater trickling down the Wessex Ridgeway path! | jamessteel100 | 20/03/2024 |
| A morning ascent of Dorset's highest point - I'm sure the views are wonderful but today Lewesdon Hill definitely had its head in the clouds! | ThomasJoseph | 12/03/2024 |

| Parked at the road side in Broadwindsor near the junction of Yarn Barton and the B3162. Lovely walk up through the fields and then the beech woods on the summit. | islamidget | 26/09/2023 |
| An easy mile-long walk from the car park in Broadwindsor, with newborn baby in tow. Easy to find the summit. Pleasant views of surrounding countryside through the trees at the top. | hillbagger91 | 21/08/2023 |
| Like Beeliner below parked at the school in Broadwindsor and enjoyed coffee, sandwiches and a cinnamon bun at the Wobbly Cottage bakery before ascending on a path through fields and into the beech wood top. Returned the same way. Overcast and low cloud. With Gillian. | richard69 | 28/07/2023 |
| With E. On a lovely summer morning we parked outside the school in Broadwindsor and started by having a coffee and freshly baked cinnamon bun at the superb one man bakery in The Old Post Office. Through field paths passing the memorial for The Forgotten Pilot of Lewesdon Hill then onto ridge and Dorset county summit. Returned via Wessex Ridgeway passing Higher Knapp Farm then footpaths passing Honeycombe Farm and along Monarchs Way back into Broadwindsor. A delightful walk and another county top bagged. | Beeliner | 27/06/2023 |

| Parked at the Old Post Office in Broadwindsor. Took path from 439022 through grassy fields followed up onto ridge and to summit, crossing over a very muddy path. To return walked along ridge path down to meet Wessex ridgeway, then along here to meet outgoing path. On return came down fields to village at 435025. Pleasant 2.6 mile loop. Nice picnic spot with cairs and benches opposite Post Office. | JulieB | 24/02/2023 |

| With J during a few days based in Somerset. Had difficulty finding parking on S or E sides of hill, so parked easily near village shop in Broadwindsor. Walked S up the B3162 safely enough & then followed the public footpaths across the fields to meet the Wessex Ridgeway. Up to the summit & then wandered around the top taking in the occasional views through the trees. Lots of tree swings for some reason. Back by the same route & then on to Hardown Hill. | NotReallyABagger | 06/10/2020 |
