Probably my third visit but this time along with Dave Ballinger specifically following the Cotswold Way from it's start in Chipping Campden, (where I spent my final three and a half years of schooling) through to Stanton about 17 and a bit kilometres. This is the site nearby of the annual Robert Dovers games in May

Easily the highlight of today's trigbagging trip, this pillar is easily accessed from a free NT car park and down a wide grassy route, which it sits in the middle of. There is a spectacular view to be enjoyed on the left, all the way to the pillar and beyond, and plenty of benches to rest on and drink it all in. The pillar isn't the only hill furniture here, either - there's a toposcope on the edge near the car park, too. Unusually, the pillar bears a NT plaque.

Parked on Kingcombe Lane. Took the public right of way from there up to the pillar. 7 of 7 today in and around Cheltenham. Had been planning to go over to Gloucester to log the cathedral and a couple more pillars, but alas had to abandon that and return home. Had been plagued by stomach cramps and nausea since mid-morning. Got a lot worse once I got home and spent the rest of the day throwing up. Yep - food poisoning!

This trig is in a delightful location, worth reading the carpark noticeboard to discover why Dover's Hill is so named. The vista from the nearby toposcope is super. Pillar is adorned with a National Trust plaque, making it quite unusual.

National Trust land, good car park SW of trig. Muddy walk with foggy views to pillar, which has a large NT plaque recessed into the LHD side so as to be flush with the surface. Not sure who the NT had do this job, but it certainly wasn't anyone with an ounce of skill - more an act of vandalism! Otherwise pillar is OK with base becoming exposed. Original cap in place, lightly indented lettering; RHD side sight hole open. No views due to morning fog hanging around. ***Revisit 7 Apr 2023 whilst bagging the nearby Dewey Notable Top.

Trig in lovely location with great views across the countryside from its high location.

Parked in the car park, visited the toposcope and then just wandered along the ridge. A beautiful day, a very easy short stroll, great views. Perfect! Me, Mum, Rebecca. 225m Last visited 21st Jan 2006 with Jon.

Foundation 3" proud due to soil erosion. Fitting of National Trust plaque has resulted in some chipping of original structure.

This has to be one of the slightly madder ventures in our family history - mother's 80th birthday and she decided she wanted a picnic lunch (in November!). Had a great time at Broadway Tower on a dry but overcast and very windy day - blew the beer off the picnic table! Some of the family walked there down the first section of the Cotswold Way from Chipping Campden and passed this trig on the way (although I had also been in the mid 90s). Easily accessible, great views from the adjacent edge, even on a very grey November day.

First one I've seen with a National Trust plaque. Shame it damaged the pillar. Bagged during a brief interlude between rain storms. Poor views today

Beautiful day. Walked up from Chipping Campden with my brother Jon at the start of a pleasant circular walk. Me and Jon.

It's a trig, not a urinal Jon!
Just to prove I was there

Delightful spot on edge of escarpment.

Lovely spot on the National Trust land at the top of the escarpment with great views N and NW over The vale of Evesham. Convenient carpark and a short stroll across the grassland. Original plug [slightly indented letters]. No paint. N sighthole open, the others closed. Concrete base exposed by about 4" allround. Unfortunately, the National Trust decided to use the pillar for one of their 'Dovers Hill' signposts and this has quite badly damaged the S face of the pillar.

Quite a nice location, with views down over the escarpment. Access is easy, with a car park nearby for this popular picnicing site; the hill is the site of the Dover Hill Olympicks.

Pleasant grassland in the care of the NT who have omegarised the pillar. Some concrete has been chipped off near the sign, but the metal work is intact. Great views walking along the Cotswold Escarpment.
