Brilliant view to Lundy with ideal position for sunset. Steep but short uphill ascent from holiday park through small National Trust woods. Trig base damaged, and pillar tilts significantly.

Roadside parking to SSE (SS 4698 4256) - NE of The Folly. Muddy farm track then pasture. Pillar is leaning, thus damaged. Original centre cap retained, lightly indented lettering; RHD side sight hole open, front plug degrading. Extensive coastal views.

Bagged after a family day on the beach at nearby woolacombe. Had to get this one solo as the rest of the crew were too tired and stayed in the car. Parked at the entrance to the track leading to the mast. Short walk up ROW to mast, then a easy walk across grass field to trig which is visible from the mast. Trig is in location shown by OS map, but does look like it might have been moved on account of exposed base and definite wonk. Have scored this one as 10 due to location above a glorious stretch of coastline. Itchy.

Easy access from transmitter station, on footpath to west. Fantastic views, even as far as South Wales today.

Short circular walk from Europa (Touring) Park. Easy access through open gates up farm track to trig in recently mown, cow-free field. It's as though they knew we were coming!

Good condition apart from possible up-rooted and leaning. On a blustery day with views of a distant Lundy across churning seas.

Easy to get to from Georgeham Road. Superb views. Logged as damaged (rather than slightly damaged) as the lean of the trig pillar would make it unusable in the event it was ever reoccupied for trigonometric purposes.

Parked on Marine drive £3. Then followed footpath first east then south towards mast. Its then along field the boundary to trig point. The tirg looks like its been moved and placed on the field edge, it's leaning all over the place.

Surf poor so the teenage members of the holiday stayed in watching "The Thin Red Line" while we set off for Woolacombe. We parked on the front and set off along the road up Challacombe hill. Found the path off to the left at the second attempt. It's higher up than you think. Then a right turn with the mast in sight. The field the pillar is in is a trespass and slowly growing grass/hay at the time. For a long time the pillar is invisible from the footpath. I know it's up there, but I just can't see it. Terence Malick would have loved it.

Pillar is leaning. There is a large mound of silage next to it, which seems to be on slightly higher ground. Good views over Woolacombe and Lundy Island today.

Easy access & excellent views of Lundy etc. There's a plaque attached:''Dedicated to the Volunteers of the 203 DEVON British resistance Movement, known as 'AUXILLIARY UNITS'of this area,1940-1944''We presume they mean the Home Guard. The pillar is tilting slightly as its base has been eroded

The last trig of the holiday - and what a gem!! Access via an open-field [ which badly needs the silage cutters on it!] about 100 yards off a public path. It's all intact with the central plug but it is leaning slightly and there is severe erosion around the base. However, there is a metal plaque on the east face which says: " Dedicated to the Volunteers of the 203 Devon British Resistance Movement known as "Auxilliary Units" who worked in this area 1940 - 1944" Never seen anything like that at all! Thick sea mist today but this would be a super spot on a clear day! A great end to a good few days!
