Followed signs for Exmansworthy and parked in small car park about half a mile south of the Coast Path. Initially started out heading west along the lane but then saw the track headed north east so went back to the car park where a footpath sign pointed north. Quite a wet and muddy path then a track. After about quarter of a mile path continued north but turned to west and headed across grassy field, along field boundary of first field then could see a mound of higher ground towards north west. Field a bit wet, at north west corner of field was a gate through to the next field which was right next to the pillar, through a gate, on a plinth, up a flight of wooden steps and on the gate is a small sign with the grid reference and the location name of Chapman Rock, so not sure why it’s called Stanbury Point on here. Spider and cap in place. Extra point for being well maintained in its own enclosure with a notice on the gate. Pushed a few weeds and ivy off the plinth, otherwise pretty clear of vegetation. Views to north out to sea including Lundy Island and south across farmland.

Another chance find on a run from Westward Ho! ro Hartland Point. It’s got its own little gate and ladder which was rather nice. Great views stretching back along the Devon coast going east.

Hats off to the NT. Looks as if they have been spending some money on this Pillar. Thunder rain just about to start as we left for a direct route back to the truck.

Slight diversion for this one on a coast path walk from Exmansworthy NT car park to Clovelly. This TP is very well looked after, with new steps climbing up to it.

Parked at NT car park. Walked up through farm then followed the bridleway and coast path. Very muddy so came back a direct route down field edge. Trig high on plinth with its own gate and wooden steps.

Also YSM0347. Visited with CherryBubb whilst on our way to Bude for the night. This was our 5th trig of the day and our 3rd YSM. Parked in the National Trust car park and took a walk through a very clean farm yard to the start of the footpath, but we took the most direct route to the trig from there along the hedgerow. Fantastic trig with its own purpose built gate and steps. Trig in great condition and great views of Lundy Island. Our 2nd TOT's trig.

Parked nearby at NT car park and walked with pooch(in his buggy)to this pillar. Hard going at times. Raining lightly when we set off but weather lovely by time we got to pillar. Pillar has its own gate to access and steps up to tit. In good condition. Great views all round with Lundy isle in distance.

Lovely sunny day (at last) for a circular walk from NT car park at East Titchbury Farm, first circling Hartland Point then out and back to the trig. Excellent view of Lundy, Bideford Bay and all the way up to Bull Point and Exmoor. Two lizards basking on the rather neat steps. Metal cap, shallow letters, N s/hole open and W punctured, vgc.

Our 5th and final trig whilst en-route to Bideford to get the ferry to Lundy (I think we overshot Bideford to have ended up here - fortunately the ferry didn't sail until the next day so we were in no danger of missing it!). Parked at Exmansworthy and followed the road NW to West Fattacott Farm and then, to avoid a long detour, we trespassed along field boundaries to the trig. Then followed the public cliff path west and returned via Gawlish Farm. Lovely views from the trig over to Lundy Island 12 miles distant, where we would be tomorrow and for the next 3 days. Pillar is in good condition. A sign on the gate close to it names it as Chapman Rock Trig Point - see my third photo.

Did a circular walk from the NT car park at Exmansworthy, joining the S W Coastal Path. Met a couple of long distance walkers. Not many views of the sea but a good walk on a nice day, none the less. Trig in field of cows. 2nd of the day

Good walk from the NT car park, takes about 20 minutes. Then you leave your keys on the gatepost at the trig and realise when you get back to the car park.... Then it only takes about 8 minutes each way!

Final trig of my 2010 expedition to Padstow for the Mayday celebrations. It was warm, sunny and very pleasant; which made a change from the wind and rain I encountered at the last two pillars on Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor. I left the car in the little National Trust carpark at N51° 00.808’ W004° 28.017’ and followed the permissive path in the north-east corner. A nice, easy walk to join the South West Coast Path a couple of hundred yards to the east of the pillar. There were a lot of walkers on the path today. This pillar has it’s own access gate… lovely idea. The pillar is complete and in good condition apart from a few names being scratched into the top spider. The plug is of the shallow indented variety. The cliff-top view is very nice with out being spectacular. Worth a visit if you’re down this way.

Easy access from the carpark. We went straight through the farmyard and down to the coastal path, not realising there was a permissive path across the fields actually from the car park. Excellent views of Lundy. Plug with indented lettering.
