Povington Hill
Povington Hill, at 198 metres high, is one of the highest points on the chain of the Purbeck Hills in south Dorset on the southern coast of England. Its prominence of 107 metres means it is listed as one of the Tumps, although map sources suggest this honour should go to Ridgeway Hill further east.| Tap on a place to explore it |
