Dramatic Norman ruin set on a hill above the Dorset village—shoot sweeping compositions of the crumbling stone keep against rolling Purbeck hills and narrow lanes. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and long shadows; late autumn and winter offer moody skies. Accessible on foot from village; National Trust entry and paid parking in village square. Weekday mornings avoid crowds. Respect fenced areas and staying on paths.
