Grubby white-painted pillar sits on a narrow woodland path accessible from a gate halfway along the fieldside footpath, or from beside the stile at the end. Pillar is a bit big for the path, but is still passable. Concealed location denies it a view, but there are some great ones all along the fieldside path.

Parked at the entrance of the field, headed over the gate and walked to the top, over 2 stiles onto a public footpath. The trig point is sat right in the middle of the path with a low-lying canopy. Google Maps was supposed to take me to the Ridge Hill Broadcast Tower but it didn't so pulled in as near to it as I could. Shame, as the tower looked cool!

The Backbury Hill – Bunker’s Hill – Marcle Hill 3 TP walk. From Bunker’s Hill I took the track directly down the lane rather than take the footpath onwards. Big mistake - the gate out to the lane was impossible to get over, in the end I forced my way through the hedge. Lane to Woolhope Cockshoot, footpath along first section of Marcle Hill (a true narrow ridge) and then on to the main hill. From the field a superb view of the Malvern Hills; from the TP in the woodland behind no view of anything. Followed footpath down from TP to lane just N of Sapness House, then very quiet lanes (two vehicles in 45 minutes) back to Broadmoor Common via Woolhope. All in all six and a half hours out and far more gruelling than I expected.

I parked in a little parking area near the start of the footpath along the ridge. When I reached the trigpoint I was separated from it by a barbed wire fence and brambles, but all I needed to do was walk on a little way, then find the path back along the other side of the fence. Pillar recently painted. Good views across the County.

Tyrolean Maid and I parked in the small car park to the north of the cache and made the very pleasant walk along the top of the escarpment to the pillar. The undergrowth has been cleared away and the pillar is resplendent in a new coat of white paint, although the top has not been painted for some reason. From the east, it must be visible for miles. The pillar is in good condition although the centre plug has been removed. The view west is totally obscured by woodland, the other directions are fine, particularly to the east when on a clear day you can see for miles. Today, however was very hazy.
