Parked at the west end of Dunspit Lane, where there is a convenient triangle to park. Followed track, turning south on bridleway at New Barn, then turning right still on the bridleway. Half way along this, there is a gap in the hedgeline and some rather loose barbed wire, which allows crawling under to gain access to the north/south hedge boundary. The pillar is halfway up this field in the hedgeline but clearly left exposed.

Another fine mess, this 1 is easy to spot in the hedge, if you are at the right hedge, parked at the barn and followed the footpath, came back due north from the pillar and picked up the track, 40 minutes there, 10 back.

Not too easy to park along the lane. Then walked to new barn and along bridleway .

Easy enough to drive all the way way to the barn and follow the footpath/bridleway to the hedge line where there is a gap. The crops were high, but the dog was happy to drag me down the edge of the field to the pillar. Only accessible from the west side

As hedge-dwellers go, this one was fairly simple. Approached from the east, having parked at the bend in the road up from Chettle. Had a leisurely stroll down the farm track to the barn, then turned left to follow the ROW to the end of the field. Turning right to follow the bottom edge of the field leads to a gap in the hedge containing the trig; through that into the next field, turn right and follow the hedge until about halfway up, where the pillar is easily visible. Good condition, but not much of a view to be had, and I imagine the field would get very muddy on a wet day.

A lovely circular walk from the village hall. 4.32km

Burnbake In a hedge off the footpath. Approach on west side of hedge about halfway along.

Along farm track heading west about a kilometre north west of Chettle. Pulled over at point where another track turns off right, north. Figured pillar probably in hedge line as it was not visible from the track. Followed hedge line on east side for about two hundred metres, field boundary was a bit scrubby. Spotted pillar in hedge on other side of barbed wire fence. Squeezed through to west side. FB faces west. Vegetation partly cleared from that side. Reasonable views across farmland. Another damaged FB by annoying person.

Not so easy to find. You need to be in the correct field west of the hedge. I have done a vlog on YouTube on how to locate this trig. Search Rufus Gazelle & Trig Point Bagger #4 Burnbake - feel free to copy & paste this link into your website addrsss: https://youtu.be/0f0KbkXTPzs

Easy access from the north, entered the western field and was able to walk around the edge to find the trig in the hedge. Seems like the farmer is friendly and leaves this access open.

Hidden in a hedge - would be easier to find in winter!

Parked in School Close in Tarrant Gunville and a beautiful mile walk up on a rare sunny November day. Sadly the views that exist to the east (which is presumably why the trig was placed here) are obscured by the hedge.

Farmer was in tractor grass cutting in the east side where the ROW is, so skirted around the west side. This turned out to be a good thing as this is where the FB is.

Approx. 200yds along the hedgerow of a cropfield from the RoW. Walked past it at first as it is well covered in by the vegetation. Bashed some nettles out of the way to get a picture.

Walked from Chettle taking in this trigpoint, Tarrant Gunville, St Mary's at Tarrant Hinton with its fine Easter Sepulchre, and glimpsing Chettle House (the plum of Dorset houses according to Pevsner, and an outstanding specimen of English Baroque) from the footpath. This pillar is about 200 yards from the footpath to the north, and sits within a thorny hedge so is quite nicely preserved and protected there, with its cap intact. Beautiful day in Dorsetshire, really enjoyed the autumn countryside with its sprinkling of fascinating long barrows.

Passed by while walking from Pimperne to Compton Abbas. Best to approach on W side of hedge as it appears thicker and there is a post directly behind TP on the E side. Had to beat down nettles with a stick to get my photo. Heard cuckoo for first time this year.

Burnbake TP May be hidden by nettles in summer.

Approached along the byway from the E, parking at the 90deg bend in Dunspit Lane. 250m trespass along a hedgerow (stay on the W side) required to find the pillar nestling within. Cleared a number of thorn branches - folding pruning saw and secateurs come into their own again. Pillar is sinking (or ground is rising) but otherwise in good condition; no sight holes visible; original cap in place. Good views E, and N to Cranborne Chase; S & W partially obscured by nearby woods/plantation.

The site was reached by walking up from the village of Chettle. The pillar is situated inside a hedge between two large fields. Newly planted grass was emerging from the ground in both fields and there was a broad strip of dead sunflowers either side of the hedge. The hedge was populated by a number of pheasants and marsh tits (I think). The pillar has a metal cap with shallow lettering and had FB S2448 facing west. The view to the south and west from the site doesn’t really extend beyond the trees and hedges at the other sides of the field. To the north and east the site looks out to a landscape of gently undulating low hills of large fields and woodland.

Took footpaths from Chettle to close to trig point. Located in a hedge though not too hidden, look on west side which has FB facing you. West side field had crop of sunflowers. Retains plug. As an aside not sure where name Burnbake comes from as thers no reference on Explorer map.

We parked at the sharp cornerv just north of Chettle at the end of the track that leads to New Barn. Followed the bridleway and hedgeline to the trig, no problem. The trig is in the hedge with the FB facing West. Plug with indented lettering.
