Parked at recreation ground car park on south west of Paulton. Across field to south west, past a herd of cows sitting down grazing. Turned to west at south boundary and pillar visible on higher ground in next field. Straight forward access and find. Limited views. Spider and cap in place. Arnhem Memorial was worth a closer look.

Parking in the playing field to the NE then along ROW to the next field. Pillar was located in the same filed as the ROW but separated by a single strand electric fence, which was easy to slip under. Pillar in good condition. interesting memorial a few meters away to a crashed glider from 1944 killing 23 men.

Started out on my way back from Midsummer Norton with a quick diversion to bag this TP. Quite easy to find as there are foot paths in the field it is in. The War Memorial adds interest to another wise average TP. The Memorial seem to keep having bit added to it. And i was told by a lady with a dog that there is a service here in early September.

A poignant location for the last trigpoint of my expedition. The field where 23 men lost their lives when the Horsa glider that was carrying them to Arnhem in 1944, crashed shortly after take-off. They were all buried in a cemetery at Weston-Super-Mare with full military honours. The pillar is a short distance away from the memorial to those men. It’s in good condition with all it’s metalwork in place. Where they are not obscured by trees, the views over the surrounding countryside are quite good.

We parked in the playing field car park at Paulton on Old Mill Lane, then followed signs for the Arnhem Memorial. This impressive stone memorial is in the same field as the trig and commemorates the lives of 23 airmen who died when their glider crashed here when they were on their way to the Battle of Arnhem in 1944. The trig has remnants of white paint. Plug with indented lettering
