This is the highest point of the heath (67 m) and offers good views over the area. There is a trig point at the top.[2] Flora and faunaBloxworth Heath is home to two very rare species of fauna: the ground crab spider, Xysticus luctator,[3] and the short-tailed blue butterfly (Cupido argiades), which was originally called the Bloxworth blue as this is where it was first recorded in 1885.[4] WalkingBloxworth Heath is a popular walking area and there are car parks at Sugar Hill in the centre of the area and at Stroud Bridge in the south, both on the minor road from Bere Regis to Wareham.
