Parked in Zennor village, headed north west along lane and track for first four or five hundred metres. Then through gate and onto coast path. After about 150 metres, coast path continues north west and another path heads north east and uphill. Around the top expected to see pillar straightaway but veered north across open ground which looked as if there had been a gorse fire in the last year as there was just stumps and patchy grass. Then pillar came into view slightly below the highest point of the hill. Great views to north east and south west along the coast. Built with local materials, like some others in the area. Cap missing. Zennor church looks like a little gem, didn’t really have time to look inside.

An easy find, short walk off coastal path at Zennor. Pillar in middle of burnt vegetation, not usual heather burning, earth scorched but pillar unscathed. A granite faced pillar, central plug missing, no surprise there. Good views but not particularly impressive overall.

Parking in public car park in Zennor village - packed due to wedding of local girl in St Senara's Church (cut benchmark). Pleasant walk up to cliff top, too misty for views. Well maintained, clear cut path through gorse. Stone-built pillar found in good condition, odd shape, not the normal elegant design, dumpy is an apt description by previous logger. Cap missing, no plug; LHD side sight hole open. Mist cleared duing our luch stop to reveal lovely views NE to Gala Rocks and Mussel Point, and SW to Carnelloe Long Rock.

So near to the coast path, but so far. there is no easy way to get to this one. Its surrounded by at least 200 yards of deep gorse and bracken. Best to reach from the footpath which cuts out the headland, there is a path shown on the 1:50,000 leading straight there but it doesnt exist. Stone built pillar, and of course no plug . Still not a bad viewpoint

This is my 100th Trig point since starting and what a nightmare to get to. Best not approached in cycle shorts. The heather isn't too bad but the calf high gorse and brambles are. Well worth the flounder for the views on this morning. Stupendous views to the northeast and the sea. Cornwall at its best. Three more today along the cliff and to a high point.

parked near pub then down the path to swcp you can see the pillar, looks a bit of a chunky one, i walked right round the footpath but i could not find any path to it so its just a case of pick a line towards it and walk through the gorse, as i always wear shorts i find it exfoliates my legs and also cuts them to shreds but never mind all in a good cause, views are good and a drink in the pub takes your mind of the blood pouring out of your legs

Mrs Dusty left me to this one as wild horses would not drag her into the sea of gorse. She wondered off with dogs. Shorts and sandals resulted in much pain. Did find a sort of path leading from the pillar to the west and almost to the coastpath.

Back again! This time with Shakey and we had more luck.After another search for the path on the OS map we decided that it had been overgrown and just waded across following the GPS arrow.This was quite hard going and very scratchy but proved to be the only way to get there.The pillar is made from stone and can be seen only from about 50(ish) feet away it is in good condition though and the views are great.
