Make sure you let the farmer know you're there - otherwise they'll chase you on a quad & shout at you! My bad, situation diffused. Trig is actually private - after talking to them they bought it & own it so don;t really like us trig baggers on their land as a result!

Walked through the castle grounds and carried straight on up the footpath through the woods along the fence until reaching the fence line of the trig field. Hop over the fence and follow the hedge down to the trig. Lovely path through the woods. Incidentally trig is most visible from the eastern side

Walked up from Wigmore via church and castle, a bit muddy passing castle up to the Lawn Bank Coppice but nice and dry path along edge of wood. Trig field very muddy .

From the S on forest roads and paths through nice mixed woodland. Accessed from field on E side of hedge with peacefully grazing sheep and cows. First rain for weeks!

Lockdown walk from home. Incredibly muddy after Storm Christoph . Latest of many visits. Usual route from behind Wigmore Castle , well trodden path and one fence hop gets you to the Trigpoint.

Regretting not taking secateurs but able to hand break away enough of the hawthorn and scrape away the gubbins to reveal original OS cap. On plinth on East Side of hedge and FB facing eat into field too. High point of HuMP 2m higher at other end of grassy field. Cows, calves and the Bull all in the field. The bull was the last one to run away as I walked towards him. They all then trotted after me as I walked to the high point other end of field... But all still Fearty.

From car park at Adforton. Same route as caroleenglel. Unfortunately, a lot of the trees have been harvested leaving the usual mess behind. Trig on substantial plinth, E of hedgeline.

Re-visit of my closest pillar to home. Good circular walk , Lots of logging work in the Wigmore Rolls. Best access is still from the castle and into the wood, follow distinct path along fenceline until adjacent to pillar. Condition unchanged. Just read other logs ... No visit for two years then two in two days !

Good parking in church car park to north. Once in wood, at bend in track, direct path up thru' wood exists. A little over-grown but a nice walk up.

From Adforton, track across fields then up through woodland. Wasn't sure which side of the hedge to look and guessed wrong so back to gate then along E side. Plug intact; last digit on the FB a bit skew, large plinth, overall VGC. Views slightly disappointing.

Visited Wigmore Castle. Walked footpath to lane and onto private drive. Woman outside first house recommended return to castle via woods. No-one in at farm to ask permission, so up fields via gates. Pillar on plinth in hedge. having scaled fence, a well walked path leads back to castle.

Our penultimate HuMP in Herefordshire (final one, Gatley Hill, done an hour later but no trig there). Pleasant walk up through Wigmore Castle after parking in castle car park. Some vocal locals (Herefordshire cattle) in summit field - more inqisitve that malign, although they need watching! Pillar, on raised concrete plinth, in good condition on field boundary, partially buried in hedgerow behind partly broken down wire fence; cut away some encroaching thorn. Original cap in place, deeply indented lettering; rear sight hole only open. Looks like normally good views S & E, but restricted by valley mist today; other directions obscured more permanently by hedge line and trees.

Lovely ride up through forest roads and quick yomp out onto top pastures. Hidden in nicely trimmed hedge on massive concrete base.
