Big, free car park by bridge in Aberffraw. Walked up road to opposite pillar, couldnt see gate nearby so accessed from FP off road ca 200m N of pillar. Whole sweeping profile of Snowdonian hills and Lleyn peninsular across SE horizon over a sea shimmering in hot September sunshine.

YOU DON'T NEED TO CLIMB THE FENCE. There is a gate further down the lane (towards Aberffraw) through which you can walk and then bear left up the hill between the hedge and a barbed wire fence. Limited parking near by, or park in Aberffraw or near St Cwyfan's Church and walk to it. Tide allowing the Church (on an island in the sea) is also well worth a visit. (50th Log, but not 50th pillar)

Walked up from village along lane,before you get to the trig take the footpath on the right and turn left to walk up to the trig just inside the field keeping the hedge and road on you left.This gives direct access to the top of the hill.
