Golden Cap

Thought i'd climb the highest hill on the South Coast today.

Well, a half hour walk from the car park anyway

I did once run up it from Seatown, but that was 1976

 

Lovely view Zigs. Just found Seatown ( as opposed to Seaton ! ) and Golden Cap.

 

Wow...lovely pics Zig

 

Here's it from Seatown on a different day.

 

Great views, how did the foot cope?

 

Perfect now ta Strongy

There were some times I didn't think it would get better though.

 

Wonderful Autumn walk Ziggy...looks like you had the place to yourself,
lucky you.
The cattle look so contented - a bountiful 4 months of grass,

They were still sat in the same place on the way back

 

Lovely pics Zigs.

 

Is Golden Cap the highest point along all the south coast ? I know England ,as opposed to Wales and Scotland , only has what can be described as large lumps, which we tend to call "mountains". So how high is Golden cap ?

 

Beautiful scenery...the British coastline always looks amazing.

 

627 feet, so not a record breaker, but not bad considering it was once on the sea bed. If you look around that part of Dorset you'll notice the tops of the hills are all roughly at the same height.

Thats the level the land was after a huge uplift. Since then the rivers have carved the valleys out leaving the hills standing proud.

 

Because it was going to rain, and i think looking at the pic they were facing North

 

They were all over the shop

 

What a handsome group of bovines. Are they Jerseys?
