Cap missing. Farmer has surrounded all access to it by electric fencing making it all but inaccessible.

Legally as close as you can get.

Pulled over opposite entrance to caravan park. Over hedge into field, pillar on top of elevated ground to south. Looks like a horse paddock. Bit of gorse about but fairly straightforward to get to. Cap plugged. Reasonable views all around.

Just to say that this trigpoint is in a field which isnt open to public access please contact the local landowner at nearby Radnor Farm if you would like to visit it.

Parked on bad bend in rough lay-by. Trig point is on a small mound in the adjacent field with easy access through gate on bend. Sign on gate saying not to enter field or feed horse. No horses in field today.

The owner of the field has gone to great lengths to stop anyone accessing the field, numerous large signs in place and electric fence

Trig sits on the NW edge of a mound in the middle of a field grazed by horses and a bullock; access requires a low-wall climb and a duck under an electric fence if approached from the bridleway to the north. The horse I encountered close-up was very friendly, even allowing its nose to be stroked before I quietly continued to the trig and it resumed eating! Pillar in good condition; ?cement plug; FB faces WSW; SSE sighthole open, all others plugged. Position logged from GPS device accurate to ±5m.

Parking on the corner then cut though the gate direct to the trig, good views and a fenced in area nearby. Lots of old mining visible in the area

Hmm, still p***ing down so I zoomed in on it from the car window again - no views due to rain and mist anyway, but interesting looking environs!

Close enough in this weather!

Agree with Nawcher - not an easy one to get to. Had to climb into a field (naughty me!!) but there is a public footpath up an adjacent road, leaving only a 20 yard dash..... Once there, it is pretty well overgrown, and views are limited - would`nt bother.

This pillar can be seen about 50m from the road. It is within a farmers field and is fenced off all around.
