JURY members at the Gaia Pope inquest were taken on a site visit to where her body was found nearly five years ago.
Five four by four vehicles were flanked by a police car which carried the members of the jury to a field near Dancing Ledge where her body was found on November 18, 2017.
Senior coroner for Dorset, Rachael Griffin, guided jurors as well as interested persons at the inquest to two key locations during their site visit.

At point A, two markers were placed on the ground which showed where items of clothing were found on November 6.
Ms Griffin then led the group to the edge of a hill approximately 200 metres away where there were another two markers.
She said: “Ahead of you, marker two, that’s where Gaia’s sock was found at 3pm on November 17.
“Marker one is where Gaia’s body was found at approximately 3.15pm on November 18. You should be aware her body was underneath bushes on the ground.”
Ms Pope, 19, went missing on November 7, 2017. She suffered from epilepsy and had been diagnosed with PTSD after an alleged rape two years previously.
At the time of her disappearance, she was anxious about her alleged rapist’s prison release.
The inquest continues.
