    Hiking

    Located on the southern edge of Pilsdon Pen, Lob Gate serves as the primary gateway for exploring Dorset’s historic landscape. It is home to the main National Trust car park on the B3164, providing the easiest and most popular trail up to the ancient Iron Age hillfort. Before ascending the 909-foot peak, walkers at Lob Gate can enjoy panoramic views that stretch across the rolling Marshwood Vale all the way to the coast.
