At less than 400 feet, it is a comparative midget among West Dorset hills, yet Colmer’s Hill is perhaps the most recognisable of them all and inspires special affection...
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... The hill’s original name, Sigismund’s Berg, gave its name to the village at its foot: Symondsbury. Sigismund was a Viking chieftan who landed with a raiding party near Bridport and, like many after him, was taken with the little round hill. The present name is later, being that of Rev. John Colmer, a landowner in Symondsbury and briefly its rector in the early 19th century.
