Dist:0.1km<br/>Fair to say that the owners would not use this image for advertising! The site is currently closed (until Easter), and very wet. Note the many blue power supply posts. http://www.beaconhilltouringpark.co.uk/

Dist:0.2km<br/>One of many power supply posts on Beacon Hill Touring Park. The park is closed until Easter, so pitches are currently empty. http://www.beaconhilltouringpark.co.uk/pitches.html

Dist:0.2km<br/>One of two lakes on the southern side of Beacon Hill, on [[1728229]]. Shown nearby on old OS maps as pottery and kilns, so presumably the lakes are disused clay pits, common in the area. http://www.beaconhilltouringpark.co.uk/fishing.html

Dist:0.2km<br/>Hill between Blandford Road North and Wareham Road; covered in pine, birch and rhododendron. Apparently the site of Lytchett Beacon, though not visible from here.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Stream flowing through woodland on the south-eastern side of [[1728190]].

Dist:0.5km<br/>This busy junction is on the A350 between Poole and Blandford, with local roads leading off here to Lytchett Minster, and Corfe Mullen.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This burial ground is on Randalls Hill just off the Blandford Rd North at Beacon Hill just north west of Upton. The "woodland" did not appear to be very much more than saplings.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Harbour View Woodland Burial Site is recently established and is being planted gradually with saplings. It is a peaceful setting, in spite of the proximity of the A350. The houses in the distance are in Beacon Hill. The 'harbour view' is towards Poole 180� behind this viewpoint.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This company used to produce quality pine furniture, but has sadly closed. This building is on the A350 at the turn into Beacon Hill. The question of which grid square it belongs in could be argued. Where the building is marked on a map, it is in the vee of the two roads and looks to be �on the line�. My GPS put it just in this square.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Once the A350 from Blandford to Poole, until a large interchange to the East was built; now the service road to Upton Cemetery.
