Chardown Hill is a prominent, rounded hill, high,[1] just to the southwest of the village of Morcombelake in the county of Dorset in southern England. It overlooks the Dorset coast around 1½ kilometres to the south.[2] Its prominence of means it is listed as one of the Tumps.[1] It is located within the South Dorset Downs.
The summit area is open and crossed by a bridleway running roughly north to south. Just south of the actual summit it is joined by a public footpath approaching from Stonebarrow Hill, the western spur of Chardown. The South West Coast Path passed along the foot of Chardown Hill and above the coastal cliffs.[2]
