[2] There is a transmission mast about 600 metres away on the spur to the northeast at High Stoy.

Writing in 1906, Sir Frederick Treves described High Stoy as "the most engaging of all Dorset hills—a hill of 800 feet, made up of green slopes, a cliff, and a mantle of trees.

"[3] Opposite High Stoy is Dogbury Hill, another bastion of the chalk escarpment.

A Franciscan friary lies in the hamlet of Hilfield beneath the hill to the west.

The 1990s TV film of Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles was made on Dogbury Hill.
