High on the chalk ridge running west/east across the Isle of Purbeck, this downland reserve has far-reaching views, with Poole Harbour to the east. Looking across the reserve we can see Knowle Hill then West Hill which drops down to its lowest point at Corfe Castle. We then climb Brenscombe Hill onward to Nine Barrow Down which points in the direction of Swanage.
