We were doing an OS Pathfinder walk at Leighton Moss so added this TP on afterwards. Parked up at the quarry and followed the marked path up and around the workings. Followed the Long Path signed upwards to the summit over some very nice exposed limestone scars Finally passed through a small jungle before coming to the clearing with the Pillar. No views from the actual TP, but a short distance past the beacon is a ledge with very nice views of the expanse of Morecambe Bay with Blackpool Tower visible in the distance. Followed the path back down to the edge of the quarry then continued on the Short Path around and back down to the car park. Couple of very nice beers in The Old School Brewery and George Washington pubs afterwards.

One of eleven trigs bagged in the Lancaster Morcambe area, on the way to Kendal. This was the eleventh. Parked in the free car park behind the George Washington pub. The village has strong links to George Washington and several generations of his family. One relative was a rector at the church and is buried there. I followed the path uphill out of the car park and found my way to the top. The pillar is in a wooded area alongside the beacon. Good views of the bay on the way up. Once at the top, it's just a few metres to be clear of the trees for south lake lakeland and bay views. The pillar is in generally good condition but has some minor damage to the top and the centre of the spider is missing.

To find this trig point I scrambled (yes that is the right word) from the Quarry carpark. There is a beacon nearby the trig. Facing the quarry take the LEFT exit out of the carpark and follow the RED sign posts. There is a short section of fairly easy rock climbing involved. No views from the top as it is surrounded by trees.

Well managed and lovely little nature reserve and all paths ascending from the quarry car park (S) lead to the pillar. Lots of primroses and early purple orchids. The pillar is surrounded by high vegetation, however no difficulties to actual reach it from the S. JDs legal team are doing a professional job representing the actor...wish I could say the same for the defence team. A very toxic relationship and I hope justice is done. The pillars today are for JDs team.

K Walked up from Warton past the brewery outlet (closed this early) through Nature Reserve and woodland to find first of all a beacon from where a short path links to the nearby trig, though both are surrounded by vegetation so have no views. The top of the limestone scar nearby is a good viewpoint as is the footpath above the quarry which is home to a noisy colony of corvids. The only downside here is a healthy tick population, one of which i needed to brush off my arm before it found a spot to settle down to breakfast. Limestone is very slippy in the wet so best for a dry day.

I never get tired of coming up here and in lockdown it's even more special. A lot of other people must have had the same idea because I couldn't remember the paths at the top ever being so muddy. Incredible sunset over Morecambe Bay with the golden sun shining on the water channels, creating an effect like a reflection in a cracked mirror.

Good tracks up the crag from dirt car park to SE. Tarmac'd carpark due S probably an easier way to do this one. Pillar has had a hard life with many visitors, top edges/corners badly chipped; no top cap or plug; rear and RHS sight holes open. Marginal views E, all other directions obscured by scrubby trees.

To Lancashire, sadly for a family funeral, but the silver lining of a little light trigging on a superb sunny day, if rather cold in a biting wind. Easy climb up from the quarry car park where many twitchers were watching peregrines. Superb views on the way up but disappointing at trig due to surrounding vegetation (although a lot of this is being cleared). Centre, and SE and SW s/holes open, otherwise vgc.

My Fathers Day treat to go out with 80% of family +dog up Warton Crag- an all time favourite. If the pillar's location matched the airiness and elevated views of Morecambe Bay that you get from The Perched Blocks it would be a 10 from me. Warton Crag has a myriad of paths through the undergrowth and along the limestone terraces; a wonderful place. But in the height of summer's greenery the pillar is boxed in and an anti climax. So it's back to The Perched Blocks with a bar of Bourneville, and warm sunshine.Happy days!

From the quarry car park skirted the eastern edge of the quarry face which was steep in places. Watch out of the polished rocks on the path as I guess they could be treacherous in wet weather. Very overgrown so no views from the pillar but there are a couple of good vantage points near to the summit. Some footpath signs wouldn't go amiss.

Parked in a small car park on minor road just out of Warton to the North.A group of local walkers assured me that this was the best approach.The path was rocky and quite slippery in the damp conditions. The pillar and beacon are well hidden on this approach and took a bit of finding.Very good views out over the estuary. I must have missed johnoneill1916 by about an hour.

Trig in a sea of scrub just past the beacon...abit of a disappointment after the climb. Views away from the trig across Morecambe bay. Chunk missing out the top so status slightly damaged

Unlike most I accessed this from the bridleway to the north, which was simple enough. If were rating the view from the actual trig, well its pretty rubbish as its surrounded by foilage. A few yards to the SW theres a rocky outcrop where theres a terrific view over Morcambe Bay and to the Lake District hills. Todays haze prevented any real detail to the north so Id expect the score to rise in better conditions.

Ran to this one from Pine Lakes resort, what a great view along the coast, there was a crows nest, which i decided not to climb up, but met a local who said he had walked up nearly every day of his life...... he also said that "some folk in the village have never been up here" their loss, what a great little find.

Easily accessible but somewhat hidden away in tree cover considering that it is at the high point of the Crags. I came up from the car park and followed a series of paths in the general direction of the top. Pillar in good condition except for a missing plug. You have to move a few yards away from the pillar to get some wonderful views out across Morecambe Bay.

What a fantastic trig visit. We parked at the quarry car park and were treated to telescopic views of a male and female peregrine perched on the rocks and a raven's nest (by very enthusiastic RSPB volunteers). It was a lovely walk/climb up to the pillar in winter sunshine, with nice views of Morecambe Bay. Nibbles of the top of the pillar and plug missing.

Lovely hill, best of all is the fairytale forest that you walk through to get up it. Views not so good today due to approaching thunderstorm and sharp exit required. Ugly beacon nearby - they are soooo naff. Fortunately hidden by trees. Nearby limestone outcrop provdes the viewpoint. Reasonable condition, but plug missing.
