The escarpment once formed part of a major South West, North East highway, the Jurassic Way.
A wonderfull panoramic view of over 60 miles (on a clear day!) at a height of 225m above sea level.
Seats provided, or take a blanket and picnic, to admire the view and a chance to walk along signposted route to see the varied habitats and species encouraged to live in the area.
Views of May Hill, Bredon Hill, the Malvern Hills, Clee and Clent Hills, Coventry, and the nearby Meon Hill at Mickleton.
The topograph is dedicated to local man Frederick Landseer Griggs, who aided by historian GM Trevelyn bought the Dover's Hill site for £4,000 to save it from becoming a hotel development, and presented it to the National Trust in 1929
