Houns Tout is a chalk headland on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England. It is located about 2 miles (3 km) south of Charmouth and 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Chapman's Pool. The headland is 200 feet (61 m) high and offers panoramic views of the coast. It is a popular spot for walking, fossil hunting, and rock climbing.

The name "Houns Tout" is thought to derive from the Old English words "hūn" (hound) and "tōt" (hill). The headland is said to have been a hunting ground for the Normans in the 11th century.

And forget about approaching from the other direction because a landslide has taken out the coast path entirely! Pretty spot though if you fancy...

Wonderful view of Chapman's Pool from the headland which being the same height above sea level as Kingston means you can park in the village car park and walk a mile or so south along the ridge on a level path marvelling at the views each side and ultimately the sea view from the Tout.
