Fancy a walk this weekend? There's nothing quite as satisfying as a climbing achallenging hill to be rewarded with an incredible view. Fortunately, Dorset has a lot of incredible views. Here are some of our favourites.

The one with the ancient civilisations: Maiden Castle

People have been living on Maiden Castle, near Dorchester,for almost 6,000 years, although it's the Iron Age settlement - the biggest hill fort in the UK - that is most obvious now. The hill is maintained by English Heritage, who don't charge for access. The lowest hill on the list at 134m. Picture by Michael Day, via Flickr. Click it for more details

The one with the views over Lulworth Cove: Bindon Hill

Bindon Hill is accessible from West Lulworth or along the South West Coastal Path from Lulworth Cove, but only when Lulworth Ranges are open. (see here for times) The hill itself is 168m high and offers incredible views along the coast, as this picture by Geoff Hill via Flickr shows.

The highest point on the south coast:Golden Cap
