Pentridge Hill Summit Marker

Highlight • Summit

Suitable for gravel or mountain biking.

The village name derives from the Celtic pen ("hill") and twrch ("boar"), and thus means "hill of the wild boar"; its existence was first recorded (as "Pentric") in the eighth century, eighty years before the birth of Alfred the Great.

View from Pentridge Hill

Highlight • Trail

Pentridge Hill has a trig point which is a little off the track in the woods at Penbury Knoll. It's at 185m, so the view from the ridge is stunning, classic Dorset countryside, especially to the south. The trails here aren't that technical but they are quiet and fun.

Bokerley Ditch

Highlight • Historical Site

This ancient earthwork lies on the Hampshire/Dorset Border, on the western edge of Martin Down. Estimates put the ditch's creation in the Bronze or Early Iron Age after which it was cut by the Romans to create one of their typically straight roads. Today, the ditch still forms part of the county border and offers plenty of wonderful hiking trails with vibrant wildlife.
