SY9378 : Rope Lake Head path reaching Swyre Head
near to Kimmeridge, Dorset County, Great Britain

Rope Lake Head path reaching Swyre Head
The stile in the foreground marks the end of the permissive path across the Smedmore Estate from the coast path at Rope Lake Head. Beyond is the modified bowl barrow on the highest part of Swyre Head - originally a bronze age bowl barrow, it is thought to have been modified to act as a windmill mound. The top of the mound, at 208 metres above sea level, is the highest point in the Isle of Purbeck and has magnificent all-round views. Swyre Head's prominence qualifies it as a "Marilyn".
