Parked on the NT car park and had a short steep walk up, managed to find a gap in all the people to take photo for charity walk I am doing. Lots of tree coverage around the trig but still some good views to be had.

Arrived too late for the Rock Houses (came back the day after), so kept on going up to reach the site of Kinver Edge iron age fort with it's stunning views. Sauntered on until we reached the pillar which was hemmed in with trees and had the appearance of being in the middle of a road - such was the popularity of the cycle track either side of it. Loved Kinver Edge, the area.

Beautiful location, located on a nice walk from Kinver Edge Rock House's across the ridge. Worth carrying on along the ridge before dropping down the hill to see the other abandoned rock house's at Vale's Rock and Nanny's Rock, albeit care should be taken as potentially unsafe and off the footpath a little way in the case of Vale's Rock.

Great Location Nice views from the ridge and close proximity to the Rock Houses

Glorious spot, always been intrigues by this spur of the sandstone lining down the country from the Peak District. Quick check of the may shows I've done the second most southerly Staffs trig (still got the most northerly to do too) so unfinished business down here. Sun blazing low over the Clee and the lights twinkling out to the cities. Back in the dark with hooting of owls.

Bagged again as part of completion of the first stages of the Staffordshire Way. Started at Seisden and walked to the southern end (Kinver Edge) via Enville for a fabulous lunch as noted in my last log of the pillar. Don't go to The Cat in Enville for lunch on a Monday - it's SHUT!!!! Pub of the year 2013 - 2016 - I don't think so. I'll calm down eventually.

Parked in the NT CP - fewer cars. Followed red trail up to ridge line. Toposcope one way, pillar the other. Fine views despite the haze. More resistant Bunter(Kidderminster)Pebble beds cap the underlying Bunter(mottled)sandstone which is dune bedded and softer - hence the Edge. The Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs were giving it some stick in the warm sunny weather. Lunch was taken in The Cat in Enville where the pub is better than those in Kinver. Enville Ale too.

Have been here several times before, but never not so I remember the date. We parked in a National Trust car park below the edge to the East of the Northern end. We walked up onto the top and visited the toposcope there - great view. We then walked along the ridge to Vale's Rock where we dropped down to return along the paths at the foot of the ridge, passing Nanny's Rock on the way. A lovely walk. 164m Me, Mum, Jon, Hadley

All at the Trig Camera balanced in the Y of a nearby tree branch

I'm not surprised this is a well visited trig. A misty day so I decided against heading off to the mountains and did something a little close to home. Good location. I liked the house in the roaks at the base of the hill.

Concrete plug, FB N side, open sight S. Excellent walk to get up here (from TP at 844787). Views would be excellent if it weren't for the trees. Found a bench a little bit N to have lunch with view to NW.

Pleasant evening walk up from the car park, doing a very short round taking in the viewfinder overlooking Kinver.

The pillar appears to be a red colour and has a heavy concrete mix with large stones. The trig is easy to find - it is rightin the middle of the footpath. The top has been filled in with concrete. The walk from the car park was quite easy and we captured cache GCPZW9 on the way. Once at the topthere were some fields of rape clearly visible.

Bagged on a twelve mile circular walk in the area. I was surprised that there was no one else around at this popular site.

Nice location in the Kinver Edge Country Park. There's a viewfinder at the end of the Iron Age hillfort which is worth a look. Tarmac plug.

Pillar in good condition for such a popular spot. The graffiti artists have had a bit of a go at the north face. The plug has a concrete replacement and it looks as if the original tribracket has also been replaced. Quite a bit of erosion around the base, which is not surprising with all the walkers here. Lovely views eastwards towards Birmingham, Dudley, and Clent Hills. The views westwards will be obscured by silver birch trees in summer but only a few yards south of the pillar there is a gap in the trees and the views of Clee Hills are excellent! Only a few hundred yards away is the junction of the Staffordshire Way, Worcestershire Way and The North Worcestershire Path. Good spot!

Perhaps the first trig point I ever visited, but returned to many, many, times. I guess at the year...

Can't remember exact date but visited here during an orienteering event. I don't think I meant to but I ended up here!
