Dogmore Hill rises just a few hundred yards north of the village of Minterne Magna in the Blackmore Vale and east of the A352 about 14 kilometres from Dorchester.

There is a bridleway running roughly east to west across its northern flank and along the edge of the plantation.

[2] The River Cerne rises in the shadow of High Stoy and Dogbury Hill, its actual source being a damp hollow in the steep valley head above Minterne Magna.

On the other side of Dogbury is the source of the Caundle Brook, near Clinger Farm, the chief tributary of the Lydden.

[5] Dogbury Gate (ST669044) is a miniature pass at the head of the Cerne Valley taking the main A352 over to the clay lowlands of the Blackmore Vale.
