Parked in the village of Winscombe to the north of the Down. Up footpath to south and west of the churchyard. Steep and narrow through bushes to start with then joins a track. At property at top of the track is a gate onto the National Trust land at Cross Plain. Turned west and uphill. After about three hundred metres pillar visible on top of the hill. Excellent all round views including Cheddar Reservoir to south east, although slightly obscured to north by boundary wall. Raised S prefix on FB number. Cap missing.

The NT car park is closed for the next few weeks, though there seem to be enough places to pull in beside it - lots of other walkers were following this path today. Lengthy and muddy uphill trek was rewarded by a very expansive view, which managed to be impressive even on a grey day like this. Well worth the perspiration and breathlessness. Seven painted pebbles left at base of trig.

From CP at high point on A38 to east, following very popular trail, upward, with pillar on skyline as woods open up. While enjoying absolutely stunning panorama over the full spread of the Somerset levels, took call that junior's flight from Ibiza had arrived early and junior was disembarking in Bristol. Opps.... Give me a sunny day in the British countryside any day.

I note previous baggers had lovely weather but for me however, it was cold and very misty at the top. I know the views are magnificent. I have climbed this peak before I became learned in the ways of trigpointing. My sorry children had been dragged up here and the plan was to wander on to Crook Peak as the sun burnt away the mist. Alas the weather gods were against us and the weather got worse so we headed back down. The pillar though is in good condition and made for an eerie sight as it appeared through the mist.

On a walk from the reservoir. Good views. S on flush bracket stamped above. No view of Brean Down trig though, shame.

The trig was revisited during a pleasant walk from Crook Peak. I was accompanied by my daughter. The pillar is still in good condition although the paint appears more weathered than 2007. The remains of an asphalt plug line the rim of the spider hole. There are fantastic views all around from this corner of the Mendip Hills although the visibility was not as clear as it was 2½ years ago.

Followed same route as Stevie Boy, but as it was very windy I didn't hang about long on Crook Peak.

Me & Jacob walked up the fantastic Crook Peak (191m but looks much higher) before following the stone wall over Compton Hill & on to Wavering Down. Passed an interesting stone bench on the way up. Nice pillar,painted white & standing proud. Bit hazey but still fantastic views. Brilliant walk up in The Mendips.

211m

A lovely sunny day giving some pleasant views of the surrounding flat land with Brent Knoll being distinctive a small well defined hillock in this landscape. Good view of the Cheddar Reservoir.

This trig and the walk around it deserve an 8. The views are magnificent; from the Quantocks round through the Bristol channel and over to Glastonbury Tor. A great walk, we started from the car park on the SE side of Crook Peak and followed the path along the ridge to the trig, then back down to the village of Cross - a good pub there too for a reward. Nice walk back along the river Cheddar/Yeo/Axe (depends where you look !!) to the car park.

The pillar is painted white and is situated on a grassy summit of a gorse clad ridge. The site is within the Crook Peak to Shute Shelve Hill SSSI for its flora, fauna and geology. The plug is missing and has FB BsM 3247. The area is grazed by cattle sheep and ponies. Widespread views extending to Sandford Quarry, Weston, Bristol Channel, Wales, Forest of Dean, the south facing scarp of the Mendips, Cheddar Village and Reservoir, Somerset Levels, Blackdown Hills, Crook Peak, Brent Knoll, Bridgwater Bay, the Quantock and Exmoor Hills.

An airy position on the West Mendip Way, popular, it seems, with runners. Crook Peak, about 2 km west, is a landmark to drivers on the M5 and is worth the extra walk after logging the trig.
