From car park at bottom of hill; RoWs from Keeper’s Lodge and access land to Trig point then we visited the hill fort and all its knolls and earthworks. The iron age fort was certainly the highlight- just a few others walking and picnicking up there. Back down the steep bw we ascended then striaght across to Hod Hill.

Park in lay-by by letter box at Child Okeford. Take BW straight up and through the magnificent, extensive hill fort. Enjoy the views. Stride to far end and leave hill fort on path to Trig and bag summit nearby. Very pleasurable, certainly one not to miss.Pete West20/02/2019
