A nice trig this, and one of my locals. Grand view over the town and countryside. All good and no change since my last visit.

Uphill and south east from Market Harborough through Little Bowden, pulled over to south of new roundabout at entrance to housing estate under construction. Looked over to hill to north and could see pillar on top. Through hedge and over fence on roadside and clambered up. Good views all around. Spider and cap in place. Flat rocks around base a bit like paving.

Found on our second attempt.Husband left the car at the public bridleway sign whilst I legged it to the pillar. Photos taken and on my way back down to the car I thought i was being chased, turned round to a couple of dozen sheep making straight for me! I hurried back to the car with them in close pursuit.Was a very different GOML experience!

(2622) Coleridge Way for parking. Then over the road, and over the gate and into the field with the pillar. Originally I thought it was empty, but no, full of sheep! But they all moved away without any fuss. Nice condition pillar in a nice setting. Still retains its original centre cap - with lightly indented lettering. Pillar history: Built on the 6th of December 1948, at a cost of £9 11s 7d. Last maintained by the OS in January of 2000.

Parked on Ashley Way. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from Kettering Road. Then climbed over a gate into the trig field and walked up to the summit and the pillar. No cattle about, just sheep. 4 of 8 today in and around Naseby

Trig is sat atop a small concrete mound. Views are across the rooftops of Market Harborough but a better aspect of the same view can be had by walking about 50 yards south. Trig is seen from the nearby public footpath (if grasses and hedgerow are not in bloom). Easiest access is over a gate just by the footpath/Kettering Road junction then across the field of sheep.

Trig point seen from nearby footpath. The hill's summit and the trig pillar are fenced off and are on private land. Pillar seems fine though as viewed from the footpath. Nice view across Market Harborough.

Seen from nearby footpath but the 2 fences (one electric), barbed wire, keep out sign and menacing looking sheep kept me from hopping over for a closer look.

Parking by the footpath to the W then over gate into field, no sign of cattle initially, as i approached the summit, there they were!! luckily on the far side of the field, so i managed to stay out of sight behind the pillar and get right up to it. Pillar good condition, nice little hill.

Looked easy on the map lol. Parked up the road in a farm entrance. Walked down there busy road and spotted a way up through the the hedge to the field. Then over a collapsed fence and under a barbed wire one, to be greated by the herd of cows, who were easily shooed off and the trig was bagged. Chucking it down by now and the collapsed fence attacked me on the way back and I ended up with a nice gash on my leg!

Easter monday day out with 'Head Office' to Market Harborough and had to bag a trig. Easy to find after parking near new entrance to footpath adjacent to housing estate on Kettering Road. Surprisingly good views of the town and surrounding area. Trig surrounded by old 'ridge and furrow' ploughing pattern.

Quite surprised to see that this pillar hasn't been visited often. Access is easy, just off a public footpath.I parked at the start of the path. Cows in the field, including one big man-cow, but all ignored me. Good view back over the town, but breezy enough up here today to make it difficult to stand near the trig. Watched a heron take off from the pond below and try to make headway into the wind, only to see it forced to turn and fly off in the opposite direction.

There are good views from here over Market Harborough. I should have done the same as wrose, but instead I got through the hedge much nearer the A6 junction, and ripped my trousers on barbed wire as I got out again.

Easy access and highly visible being in field with public footpath so only needs a slight detour to reach it. I parked in the adjacent newish housing estate and then just walked up the main road to the footpath entry. Stands on a bit of a headland with extensive views over the nearby conurbation of Market Harborough
