Flower’s Barrow
Flowers Barrow is an iron-age hillfort on the cliff edge above Worbarrow Bay. Sadly around half of the original hillfort has been lost due to continual erosion of the cliffs.
Flowers Barrow is only accessible when Tyneham and the Lulworth Range walks are open – see Opening Dates & Times. It can be reached either by a steep coastal path from Worbarrow or by a path from Whiteway Hill.
