A short and easy hill climb leads to a pillar which, unusually, is below the summit. Great view, but only in one direction.

Parked at the end of the footpath on Raycomb Lane, just enough room for 1 car. Then along the footpath all the way to the trigpoint. Nice view on a lovely sunny day. Trig is not at the summit and neither is the seat sadly and this is as far as I walked. Summit - 'ground 200m NW, 60m S of trig point, at SO 72359 41769 is 0.4m lower' - next to a fence apparently in the woodland.

Parked at St James the Great church in Colwall, about a mile away hopping on a marked footpath to the right of a house at a junction a quarter of a mile away. Easy route to follow, a few stiles to tackle but a nice walk overall with great views!

2/3 Second pillar on Malvern Midsummer Marathon. Pillar set on low grassy hill on western loop of the event. Still significant mist spoiling views across pretty countryside, some fine properties in this area

Lovely walk from Wellington Heath village hall across the parkland to the hill. The local hunt was 'out' at the top, and as they continued down the hill nearly every hound made for the pillar making it the most piddled upon pillar in 20 seconds ever (see photo).

From NE (good parking on grass verge) on foot path initially through apple orchard then steps through nice deciduous wood to fields of deep grass to reach grassy summit. Open access with bench on summit. Trig point on NNE shoulder. Good views W of hills fading int a golden sunset. Sun finally dips below the horizon at 21:32, eve of the longest day.

Parked at the church of st james the great, Colwall. Followed the Geopark Way, crossing Cradley Brook, then up through an apple orchard, woodland & finally to the open summit.Nice pillar,not quite the summit. Stunning views across Hfds to Wales,Shrops & Worcs hills. Lovely spot on a warm,sunny day. I drive within 2 miles of here to work yet its taken me over 4 yrs of trigpointing to bag this one. Well worth the wait! Returned the same way. Thats the Ledbury trigs completed

Easy access pillar, on a public footpath off a narrow lane but a lay-by to park in. It's all intact with the original plug - deeply indented letters. A few traces of paint. All sightholes open. Concrete base exposed on all sides except S. In the centre of a pasture field with a mixed herd of friendly Fresian and Jersey cows. Lovely views N to Clee and end of Malverns, and W to Welsh Hills.
