Colmer's Hill is a fantastically distinctive, conical hill in the west of Dorset. It rises above the stunning Symondsbury Estate and makes for an excellent objective on a walk in the area. You can spot it both for its shape and the pine trees on its otherwise bare summit.

Hiking

Colmer's Hill towers over the town of Symondsbury at a height of 417 feet. It can already be seen from afar and from its summit you have a breathtaking view over the Marshwood Vale. With a little luck you can spot rabbits, deer and buzzards.
