Great location but no trig point. As others have said hut probably on site of base there does seem to be few bits of broken concrete around. Compond around but path to side.

No access to road from either end due to resurfacing. How much enthusiasm can I muster to revisit a trig I know is missing considering I got to within 200 yards from it?

The site of the trig is in a reservoir compound on a grassy hill to the southeast of Prestatyn. The compound was reached by the access road from the minor road to the west. There was no sign of a trig from the adjacent fence. Visibility was a little murky this morning but the green Clwydian Hills could be seen rising up in the west and south. Lower hills run down to the sea in the north and to the east parts of the Dee Estuary and the Wirral could be seen.

Shame about the pillar but it's still worth a visit for some very nice scenery.

Paid a quick visit to the spot as I was in the area but, as others have said, there is no sign of the pillar anywhere.

Spot occupied by electrical hut, probably using the old concrete base of the trig. Just inside small reservoir enclosure. Public

Hut where trig used to be

Loveley Views from up here. The pillar would have stood where there is now a Welsh Water Service Reservour and you can see why as you can see for miles. Public Footpath runs past the spot
