Parked in lay bye and walk to house and spoke to owner of trig field. Very nice gentleman (Stephen) who walked across to the trig point with me. He has just paint the trig point and is now very white. He is welcoming to visitor but would prefer if you asked first.

Parked in the layby opposite. Hoping to be seen from road but bushes in the way. A quick peek over and it's under the now completed tower with all sort of comms stuff on it. Trig has a bbq and other bits n pieces surrounding it.

Bagged this after a visit to nearby Raglan Castle during family holiday in Monmouth. Family stayed in car whilst I jumped the gate and quickly bagged. Itchy.

Parked in lay-by across the road from the very tall watch tower, then climbed over the metal gate into the field. Obscured from direct view from the house; caravan is now derelict. Trig was at the bottom of the watch tower, original metal cap with indented letterings, left sighthole open, all other sightholes closed. I left a 2p coin in the left sighthole for the next visitor to find.

friendly owner was sat by the pillar as we arrived in near dark,he readily granted permission and removed the wire surround from the pillar so we could take photos,hes building the large viewing tower at present and will create commanding views from the top when completed,a really friendly couple who took a keen interest in trigging,he did Express the desire to rename it coed cefn lodge as he said that was its proper name.

Was dark at time of visit, Pillar appears to be in good condition and it looks as it is located in a sort of garden extension. there is a caravan nearby. too dark for pictures and didn't want to use flash in someone's "garden"

I couldn't find this one - but that doesn't mean that it's gone. The area is very overgrown, there's lots of rubbish around and it looks like someone's back garden rather than a field so I didn't go in to have a proper look. REVISIT. I was cycling through Raglan a few weeks later and thought it might be worth the effort to pedal up for a second look for the trig. Yes, well worth it. The owners were out in the garden and immediately opened the gate for me, removed some mesh panels from the pillar and held the vegetation back so I could get a better photo. We chatted for a while, exchanged names and I went off down the hill very happy. What a nice day!

A surprisingle pleasant spot in the winter sun with views to the Black Mountains. Didn't think I should hang around on the bench as it's not a footpath - but I can see why they put it there.

Easy acces from a farm gate at side of the road, the trig is a few meters inside the field. Parking easy across the road. Pillar is getting overgrown with small thorn trees growing immediately next to it making clearing the undergrowth difficult (note to self - put some secateurs in my pack). Pillar is in good condition, original metal plug present. Some views, but nothing too interesting.

Parking close by and then just a hope over the gate to the trig and loverly views. For some reason somebody had painted faces on a number of tree trunk slices, a couple of which had been placed on top of the trig.
