Easy, if muddy walk when we visited. Must be a much visited site as purpose built steps have been provided. A stone commemorating the coronation of George the V (1911) has been erected near by, at the spot where a beacon bonfire took place. Good views. Quite a bit of flooding could be seen in the distance.

Nice stroll up from Bishop's Norton from the start of the footpath in the dead end road. Did a circular walk down through some woods to the River Severn and came out by The Red Lion pub right on the river. Thought about stopping for a pint, but plodded on instead back to the car. Nice easy trig to get to right on a PROW. Handy bench right beside it but hardly needed at just 86 meters up.

Because of you know what, this is the first trig I have gone this year. So I started off with an easy one. Nice flattish cycle until you have to go up the BW from Sandhurst to the east. Saw some very big black clouds over Glos but I managed to escape them. TP is easy to see from BW. Good views.

Parked at bottom of lane, spaces for about 5 cars. Straight up bridle way for about 1 mile. Pillar is on the right. Views are very good & better going up & down the hill Rather than at the summit.

To Cheltenham for mother's birthday, so an opportunity for a quick trig bag with the Old Man, Sis#2 and Sis#3 during her nap. Trig had its own police guard - badger cull ops - not sure which party enlivened the other's afternoon more! Overcast but good views to Gloucester, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds and R Severn. Some render lost from top, centre and N s/hole open, otherwise good condition.

On guard!

Lovely spot, even in the rain! There's a geocache about a yard away from the pillar, so two for the price of one really.

The only damage I could see was to the cement levelling the top surface. Very misty, so no views. Very muddy field today.

Parked just beyond the pub with the wheel clamping warning signs.Took the Severn Way then bridleway to trig & walkers bench. Great views of Cheltenham,Gloucester & Cotswolds to the south & east and to the Malverns,May Hill,Herefordshire & Black Mountains west & north.Continued along bridleway to farm where i turned right to rejoin the Severn Way for a circular walk back along the river bank & through woods. Very enjoyable.

Lovely day for geocaching and trigpointing. Very hot and enjoyed the shade over the trig from the tree. Made a long circular walk to get here with a visit to the "Red Lion" at either end of the walk.

A lovely spot, with the clearing air revealing May Hill and the drop to the Severn. The field is newly cultivated and being rolled, such a change from the tall winter crops. Very pleasant path up from Norton. Pillar is chipped, missing its plug. Its next to an old ash and by a seat. Great stuff
