'Paid-visit' en-route to Bickerton Hill to 'knock-off' another portion of The Sandstone Trail & in particular Mad Allen's Hole...Parked off-road at GR 48946 60121 having first driven past this entrance to take a left to seek permission to access. Granted access from Richard, it was a case of over a coupl'a gates & a single-strand wire fence to the trig 'held ransom' by a moat in the middle of the field. Richard attempted to show me an OS benchmark about the house but forgot where it was...Forgetful perhaps (ain't we all as the years pass by) but nonetheless a most pleasant chap!

Parked on Newton Lane. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from Tattenhall Road to the point where it is immediately adjacent to the railway line. Then turned left, and walked along the line of the fence to the point immediately north of the pillar. Then climbed over a wooden fence into the field immediately behind the one in which the pillar is located, and then climbed over a gate into the field where the pillar is. Were several electric fences to crawl under along the way.

Really nice farmer. As everyone else has said, walked up the drive, saw the famer and asked if I could visit the trig and he was most obliging. Showed me where to go through the gate and over the electric fence. Interesting Boabab tree close by.

Walked up drive and met the friendly owner who said it was no problem to visit the trig and told me to climb over the fence and head straight for it. Had to duck under an electric fence en-route. Original cap.

Smart pillar in fine condition in the middle of a field. All round views are pleasant, whilst not remarkable.

Called at the nearby B&B, the lady there granted permission and walked part way with us. The pillar was safe with its guardians.

Pillar has its own moat, very wet fields. Readily given access by men building garage near farm entrance.

Asked for permission at farm/B&B, no problem. Farmer said he gets a visitor about every 6 months asking for permission to visit this one and even knew its height.

Approached someone in the stables area and asked permission to visit trig, but he wasn't the owner. D'Oh! Owner nowhere to be found, so paid a quick visit anyway. Boggy field (not unusual at the moment in Cheshire), but trig well supported by concrete plinth.

No problem getting permission at Newton Hall Farm to visit this one. Within sight of both Beeston and Peckforton castles.
