About two miles south east of Selling railway station. Up a dead end lane heading north west. At highest part of road gap in hedge giving good views to west. Opposite on east side is an obvious hill. Over gate and straight uphill. Near to pillar is a signal beacon. Views lost as trees have all grown up around. Fabulous location name. Extra point for that. Good condition, spider and cap in place.

Parked by very rickety stile, then easy climb to pillar. Views at this time of year still blocked by leaves on the trees.

A splendid little hill with permitted public access from gate on lane at S side. Fire beacon and fine views. Calm and the orange glow of sunset lingering in skies to SW.

Nice little mound, locals like it (they call it The Mound). They have recently cut back the understory, culled saplings, overhauled the fire basket beacon, installed a hand-rail(!) and have scheduled a small shindig up there for tonight. The pillar retains an original centre cap, lightly indented lettering; LHS sight hole open. Good views through the trees this time of year.

This is probably one of my favourite local trig points. A great viewpoint and something of a hidden gem. Be sure to find my geocache near here!

It was the first log for a couple of years and the rain was teeming down. The views would be great if it wasn't for the Clouds

Pleasant surprise to find on access land - no trespassing this time! Odd hill top - like a castle motte. Views extend over orchards and out to Isle of Sheppey/Sheerness.

Parked by gate at foot of trigs hill then over the stile & up past the watching sheep to the pillar. Lovely views just as the sun was setting. Pillar in generally good condition with both cap & FB present but one of rings missing so listing as slightly damaged

You can drive up the lane and park near the stile into this small area of access land. Shane's favourite trig of the weekend - it would have been more favourite if it hadn't been raining! Plug with indented lettering.

Set on a small hill with good views of the East Kent countryside in all directions. Definitely worth the visit.
