Stonebarrow Hill is a hill, east of Charmouth, near the Dorset coast in southern England. It has a height of 148 metres (486 ft) and forms the west-southwestern spur of Chardown Hill. Stonebarrow and the surrounding area is notable for its landslides.[1] The hill is often a starting point for walks around the Golden Cap estate.[2]

There is a National Trust Centre at Stonebarrow Hill and also a permanent orienteering course established by Wimborne Orienteers in conjunction with the Trust.[3]
