Raymond's Hill is a residential area off the A35 road in England about 2 miles (3.2 km) south east of Axminster in East Devon, and about 3 miles (4.8 km) northwest of Charmouth in West Dorset.
The housing is of low density and moderate value, and is surrounded by a forest and heathland protected by the District Council.
In 2002 the local MP Hugo Swire presented a 2,225 signature petition to Parliament on behalf of the residents, calling for a roundabout to be constructed at the notorious accident blackspot at the junction of the A35 and the B3165 at the Hunters Lodge Inn, Raymonds Hill which has claimed many lives.
In 2004 the Highways Agency completed a safety improvement scheme including new signs, red anti-skid surfacing and two traffic islands, though no roundabout has been installed.
