To get to this trig I walked up from the church in the village. The only sticking point in finding the way is a confusion of gates. The metal gate on the right goes into a field and is the wrong one. The metal gate on the left (near a bench) is the right one. There is also a "topograph" monument and the trig point is to the right of that and a short distance away. From the top there are spectular views down the mouth of the river Kent towards Arnside and Grange.

Excellent lunch at Levens Hall before walking (taxi fare on my back) to reach this little gem of a pillar at 123m. Sometimes the smallest of hills provide the most astonishing views, this was one of them. Lyth Valley is part of damson country and so I have to gift this pillar to damsons. However, what I want to know is where do they all go to once picked??? Haven't seen damsons for sale in donkey's years.

Up through an overgrown path in the woods to the phone mast then over the wall into a field of very docile cattle. They didn't even bother to rise to their feet.

From the E, following field boundary. Pillar sits in rough pasture, approx 30m S of the bdy walling. Chipping to top edges and a scrappy coat of white paint makes this a careworn looking trig. No centre cap or plug; LHS & RHS sight holes open, front and rear plugs degrading. Cloud down, no views.

Parked on the minor road longside the wood. Walked up the side of field to the Trig and then back on a path that runs alongside the field boundary in the wood, a little less obvious...being circumspect due to mega GOML (not trig related) incident the previous weekend! Trig in good contition with views over Milnthorpe sands.

Turned up Mabbins Hall Lane from the village & parked in space at the side of the road just above the woods. Public footpath 100 yards further down the road which takes you up the field straight to the trig. Great views over Kent Estuary,slightly spoiled by the rapidly approaching rain clouds. Nice spot.
