Best to park on Bury New Road, near the junction with Bradley Fold Road (on which the trig point is) and walk up. Trig is high up on a stone wall and platform.

It appears I visited this pillar just about 20 minutes before another visit on the same afternoon. It was exceptionally easy to find but it could do with a bit of TLC as the surrounding area is getting a bit overgrown. Good views over Greater Manchester if you walk further up the road.

Bradley Fold Road between Bolton and Bury. Pillar on a raised area on the W side of the road. This adds to the appeal, with daffodils growing around it. In great condition too I must say. Views S towards the Manchester skyline. The road is footpathed, all in all, an easy one.

At first sight this is a sorry-looking thing due to its overgrown state and general air of neglect. The are no views to be had. It IS in good condition though, is easy to access, and if you visit late Aug/early Sept, there are blackberries to be picked. Mmm, yummy.
