Surprised this one isn't on the hillfort ramparts. Accessed from the woodland track beside the picnic area, which leads uphill and across the hillfort, before descending past a derelict barn towards the pillar, which hides behind a big tree. If this is private land (as previous logs suggest), I saw no indication of it. Easy and enjoyable bag with decent view.

Parked in a dedicated parking area - made a loop of the bag by heading through the fields to the trig then back around through the woods.

Followed Wye Valley Walk from off B4224 up path to left of Caplor Farm buildings and then up the steep stepped hillside to the field where TP clearly visible. Nice view of Marcle Hill and setting under large oak tree pleasant.

Actually on private land, but access is no problem, although there is a longish climb from the nearest road.

Parked at Capler Lodge view point and followed PROW. As per Jon Glew - 160m ESE of the eastern ramparts of the IA hill fort, located on private land although access doesn't seem to be a problem.

Visited with CherryBubb. We parked at the view point and opted to walk to this one in an anticlockwise direction picking up 1 geocache on the way - GC6TJXP. Just before the trig we had to walk right past and along the drive and sheds of a wooden clad house. We confirmed with the resident owner if we were on the right track and made sure it was ok to turn left just after his house to the trig and then onwards to the old settlement. "Yes" he said and he commented on how good the views were from there. Once me & CherryBubb arrived at the trig, we glanced over our shoulders only to realise our every move was being monitored and watched by the same fellow who never seemed to take his eyes off us both - very strange behaviour. Our 4th of 5 trigs today and this one was the second one with a missing center cap. Good views and lots of blarting sheep and lambs about today - noisy little things.

Parked at Capler Lodge view point. Then walked the Wye Valley Route up towards Capler Camp and along the ramparts to the farm buildings. The trig point is a short distance down the track from the farm near three large trees.

Lovely late Autumn day in Herefordshire. Walked up to this trig as a slight diversion off a local geocaching circuit. Nice views all around, especially today as it was clear and bright.

The pillar is situated by the side of a track through a grassy field on the eastern slopes below Capler Camp in the Wye Valley AONB between Ross-on-Wye and Hereford. It was reached by a short walk from the picnic site near Capler Lodge by means of the Wye Valley Walk along the southern ramparts of the Iron Age fort. It has FB S7284 but lacks a cap or plug. Ridge Hill could be seen in the east and the trig looked across hazy farmland to the west.

Folowed the route and parking hints from Rhayder Wanderer. So it's not an army camp nor a Butlins but a historical camp - I was being a bit slow today - no wonder I never saw a soldier.

A nice walk up from a marked car park up and passed the camp. Trig surrounded by sheep until we arrived with the dog! The return walk below the camp passes through what loks like a private drive. The 'Way Mark' is right at the far end of the drive. The third walk of three Trig visits today. Beautiful weather. Me, Mum, Jon and Hadley.

Alternatively park on the B road outside the cottage just S of the Capler Farm turn and walk in up the slope from the NE on a well pitched footpath. Agree on the views from here.

Best reached from the picnic site south of Capler Wood. Follow the Wye Valley Walk via Capler Camp to a deserted farm. Follow the track downhill behind the farm to trig point.

I'm amazed nobody else has been here. It's just off the Wye Valley Walk on one of it's most picturesque sections, and very close to some great views over the river. Lots of very inquisitive sheep.
