High on Ridgeway Hill, second highest point of the Purbeck Hills, can be found, Grange Arch, also known as Creech Folly; a linear triple arched stepped construction of ashlar stone, with several niches. Build in the 1700's by the then owner of Creech Grange as a folly, it has commanding views; inland over the remnants of what was known as the 'Great Heath', which once extended over a vast swathe of this part of Dorset and seaward towards the rocky Purbeck coast.
