Location


Duncliffe Hill rises from the surrounding lowland about 2 miles west of Shaftesbury in the Blackmore Vale and is visible miles away in Wiltshire and Somerset.[2] It is a flattened, conical hill whose slopes are covered by Duncliffe Wood on three sides, but are open to the north. There are several trails through the woods, some leading to the summit where there is a trig point. The wood is a bird reserve. The A30 main road passes by the foot of the hill to the north.[3]
