The main landmark in the village is the distinctive Colmer's Hill, a near-conical sandstone eminence topped by pine trees.
It is highly visible from the main street in Bridport, and its significance extends back to around the 11th century.
 The hill takes its name from the "Colmer Tenement".
The family were tenants of the Dukes of Somerset and Earls of Ilchester in the 17th and 18th centuries and the Rev. John Colmer was the rector from 1805–06.

During World War I Scots Pine trees were planted on the summit by Major W P Colfox MC and the hill now forms an iconic subject for artists and photographers.
