A great starting point for 25 miles of footpaths around the estate. An old radar station houses a National Trust information point, shop, WCs and basecamp. More fabulous coastal panoramas here too. SY383934

High on the cliffs, this is the site of an ancient beacon. It was one of a series dotted along the English coast as part of an early warning system in case guarding against foreign invasion. Spectacular views east to Bridport and Chesil Beach. SY436914
