Hambledon Hill - Added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in North Dorset, South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Hambledon Hill is a prehistoric hill fort in Dorset, England, in the Blackmore Vale five miles northwest of Blandford Forum. The hill itself is a chalk outcrop, on the southwestern corner of Cranborne Chase, separated from the Dorset Downs by the River Stour. It is owned by the National Trust.

Its earliest occupation was in the Neolithic period when a pair of causewayed enclosures were dug at the top of the hill. They were linked by a bank and ditch running northwest–southeast. Two long barrows also stood within the complex.

Overall size is 1,350,000 sq ft with radiocarbon analysis showing the site dates back to circa 3000BC

TOAL was from the public footpaths that cross its summit. Parking was in a layby (4 car spaces) in the village below

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 09/06/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
