Rawlsbury Camp - Hillfort in DorsetThis hillfort on a spur of Bulbarrow Hill is roughly pear-shaped and encloses about 5 acres. It has two main banks with an intermediate ditch, with an entrance to the east. The earthworks around the entrance are interesting, and are confused by a medieval trackway which crosses them. There is an unusual seat and landmark on the highest point of the hillfort, with excellent views of "Hardy Country" which actually take in five counties on a clear day. Access A bridleway skirts around south side of the ramparts, and there is a minor road to the north (coming down from Bulbarrow Hill). There is room for some road-side parking, although getting there means a confusing rural lane drive or hard uphill cycle. Nearby Bulbarrow Hill is signposted from Blandford Forum.The chalk hill is part of the scarp of Dorset Downs, which form the western end of the Southern England Chalk Formation. Part of the hill is used for arable agriculture, but most is calcareous grassland. The hill overlooks the Blackmore Vale, and offers views of Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Devon.
