Colmer's Hill:

It is equally recognisable from any direction, as its steep slopes are not obscured by any other significant hill close by. This means, too, that there is a wonderful 360° view from the trig point on its summit. Its appeal lies also in its pleasingly regular shape, a rounded, flattened cone, which led Bridport children to give it its alternative name of Pudding Basin Hill.

Then there is its colour, especially in the autumn and winter, when the bracken-covered slopes are a blaze of gold. Finally there is the scruffy but attractive top-knot of pine trees, planted during World War One by the Colfox family, whose lands still include Colmer’s Hill.
