First pillar in my 'Penzance Pot'...Lay-by parked at GR 603 428 & having crossed the road & 'paid-visit' to the headland overlooking Hell's Mouth, proceeded along the coastal path up onto the trig. Reversing the route part way back, took a right into North Cliffs car park & followed the road back to a well deserved ice cream. Driving to Wheal Alfred Road with parking in the 'fanned-out' entrance of Trethingey Farm GR 577 366, followed the track South but a short way to 'bag' a second easy trig, located to the left on a raised pedestal & embankment. Castle-an-Dinas & dreadingly, having read other 'baggers blogs' Trink Hill tomorrow!

From NT car park about half a mile east of the headland, pleasant cliff top walk, sunny blustery day. Wonderful views out to Godrevy lighthouse and across to St Ives. Path to pillar diverts slightly inland. Constructed of stone a bit like at Pentire Head.

Easy bag. Parked at Nat Trust carpark - North Cliffs. Walked along Coast Path to short track up to the stone pillar - constructed from local slates. Impressive views through the low cloud and poor visibility to Godrevy Island and its lighthouse, St Ives bay and northwards to Gull Rock near Portreath. This is now farewell to West Penwith trig points. All west of here are ticked off, the other three "guardian" trigs south of here have been accounted for over the last 12 years of visits to this favourite part of Cornwall.

I’ve run past this one loads of times without realising because I always stick to the path that is closest to the sea and this is actually slightly further inland but ridiculously easy to find if you have a tiny bit more sense than me. On this occasion I just saw the top peeping above the gorse and took a path that led straight up to it. Lovely view of Godrevy lighthouse beyond.

A very enjoyable walk from the NT car park at Godrevy Lighthouse where I left the kids to take photos at sunset. I saw the seals basking on the beach from up on high, before heading along the coast path to here to bag this before continuing my walk and grabbing a couple of caches to North Cliffs car park.

The stone built pillar stands on a gorse covered headland on the Cornish Coast to the northwest of Camborne. The headland is criss-crossed by footpaths and was reached from the passive station car park at Hudder Down. The pillar stands on a concrete base and it lacks a cap or plug. A National Trust plaque and FB S7935 are fixed on its side. Dramatic cliffs can be seen stretching away to St Agnes and beyond to the northeast. Godrevy Island and its lighthouse are to the north. To the southwest lies the sweep of St Ives Bay. Farmland can be seen inland heading in the direction of Carn Brea. The site is within the Godrevy Head to St Agnes SSSI, the Godrevy to Portreath Heritage Coast and the Godrevy to Portreath area of the Cornwall AONB.

Great views of St Ives bay from Hayle round to St Ives itself. And of course the lighthouse and the North Cornwall Coast. The pillar itself is made from stone blocks, and has a National Trust Plaque attached. It is in good condition apart from a missing plug.
