Ridgeway Hill (198〔 or 199 metres〔 high, also referred to as Grange Hill〔Burke, Sir Bernard (1852). ''A Visitation of the Seats and Arms of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain'', Volume 1, Colburn, London, p. 65.〕〔(''Creech Grange'' ) listing at English Heritage website. Accessed on 9 Jun 2013〕 or Steeple Hill〔(''Steeple Pit - Steeple Hill, Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, UK - Places of Geologic Significance'' ) on Waymarking.com. Accessed on 8 Jun 2013〕〔(''Purbeck Circular Walk'' ) at www.ramblers.co.uk. Accessed on 8 Jun 2013〕) is the third highest point of the Purbeck Hills〔 in the county of Dorset, England and its prominence qualifies it as one of the few HuMPs in the county.〔 The hill lies about 2 1/2 kilometres from Kimmeridge Bay on Dorset's Jurassic Coast and some 5 kilometres west of Corfe Castle. The hamlet of Steeple lies at its southern foot. Around 4 kilometres to the west is the better-known, but slightly lower, eminence of Povington Hill above the abandoned village of Tyneham. The Lulworth Ranges lie between Ridgeway Hill and the coast.〔 Near the top of the hill is an 18th-century folly known as Grange Arch, built by the former owner of Creech Grange, Denis Bond. 〔(''Grange Arch on the Purbeck ridgeway'' ) at www.geograph.org.uk.

There is a free car park on the ridgeline about 1 kilometre west of the summit〔 known as Steeple Hill Car Park, from where there are panoramic views of the area. On the eastern spur of the hill is Stonehill Down which is now a nature reserve.〔 == Gallery == File:Ridgeway Hill from Creech Barrow Hill.JPG|The long wooded back of Ridgeway Hill seen from Creech Barrow Hill to the NE File:Ridgeway Hill from footpath to west.JPG|The footpath up the western slope of Ridgeway Hill from the car park 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ridgeway Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
