Date Added: 13th Mar 2013
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2008. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 3
Flower's Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 5th Jun 2005. June 2005. Looking across to Flower's barrow cliff fort from Mupe bay. A patch of sunlight is illuminating the hill and the outline of the ramparts can be made out against the sky. The right hand side of the fort is disappearing into the sea! We had walked far enough to get to this point, keeping on going to Flower's barrow was out of the question. Not an easy site to access!
