Pulled over on roadside about quarter of a mile north of the railway line at top of hill beside start of track heading west. Looked over gate and could see pillar to west and to south of copse of trees. Shortest route would be directly across field but walked west along the track and then south along the field boundary. Good views to south. Asphalt cap.

Bit of a tricky find due to stinging nettles and it being a hot day

Cycled to this one from Bedwyn station. Located down a bridleway. Field edge by a corner of a wood.

Of the four pillars I bagged today, this one was the most straightforward. Parked on a verge opposite a house just north of the bridleway, and walked down the track till I could enter the field. Followed hedgerow to the wood, turned left, and at the end of the wood, there was the pillar, sunning itself and enjoying a decent view of the valley. Nice, pleasant, quick and easy bag. Why aren't they all like this?

Walked through Savernake Forest and then along footpaths to field. View from the TP - a quintessential picture of the English countryside.

Good cycle coming off the hill with S1500 on it to get to this one. The bridleways were good and I ended up going a long the Kennet and Avon Canal Path. Nice views and the sun seems to be coming out again now.

Parked on main road at bridleway crossroads. Took the path farmer has kindly left around perimeter of large field. Pillar an easy one to bag. Some slight views once there.

We parked to the ESE of the trig, along Savernake Rd (approx. SU237637), then took the track NW towards Terrace Clump. No crops in the field at this time of the year so we just walked across the field in a straight line to the trig. Trig in good condition with asphalt plug. Lovely views from here! I left a 2p coin in the front sight hole (directly below the FB) for the next visitor to find.

Fine view of Martinsell Hill from here - pillar ok, all 4 sight-holes open & asphalt cap. Earlier, just down the road from here I re-visited the remains of two railway stations: Savernake Low Level (only rubble & some rusting old rails) & Savernake High Level (platforms remain in place & original station has been incorporated into a large residence.) Incredible to think that this quiet country backwater once had two substantial stations.

Approached up track from east and then skirted edge of woodland. Got stung on hand by nettle I was trying to push out of the way! Required some clearance of weeds around pillar to view properly. Further details and photos to follow...

Parked at the start of an extremely muddy track off a minor road at the southern end of Durley, but frost had rendered it all very hard, so no problems. Walked directly to the trig through a field of stubble. Trig is located in the field close to Terrace Clump, a small wooded area. Pillar is in good condition, plug missing, replaced with asphalt, all site holes open. Some good views across to Salisbury Plain and the southern edge of the Marlborough Downs.

The pillar stands near the edge of an arable field, close to a copse on a small hill near the south eastern edge of Savernake Forest. It has an asphalt plug and FB S1911. The trig was visited on a short walk that included the forest and the Kennet and Avon Canal. The tracks through the ancient woodland of Savernake Forest were very pleasant and filled with birdsong. A large herd of deer was seen grazing in a field next to Lover’s Walk and Bruce Tunnel is an impressive example of early 19th century canal work. The trig mostly looks south across the Vale of Pewsey to the clump topped downs on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain and west to Martinsell Hill. Savernake Forest is a SSSI and the area is within the North Wessex Downs AONB.

Bit of change to this one since the last log in 2007 - the hedge it is no more! now located about 20 meters into a field next to woods - pillar good condition - great views of the surrounding hills.

After a false alarm sparked by me, found this one easily in a hedge, getting a photo required the use of a walking stick - essential equipment for trigpointing.

Pillar beside barbed wire fence and scruffy hawthorn hedge separating pastures. Walked up from Durley.
