Parked in lay-by next to gate into nature area. Pillar about twenty metres east of gate. Great view of the Eurotunnel vehicle loading area. Easy to spend a while watching all the activity below. Chatted to a ranger who pointed out where the pillar is, he had heard a programme on the radio a couple of days earlier about trig point hunting. First cylindrical pillar log. No FB Another two visited later the same day.

An unusual cylindrical design at this trigpoint. An interesting vantage point across much of Folkestone, but rather industrialised.

The view was good but the day was very windy, especially along this exposed ridge.

Located on the North Downs Way with exceptional views over the Channel Tunnel complex. We stopped for lunch here in lovely sunny weather. The giant train set below absolutely mesmerizing, could have stayed there for hours, but the other half dragged me back to the reality of trig hunting! The pillar is the only cylindrical one I've seen in England or Wales (common in Scotland on the higher paeks), no FB.

Parked at the road junction about 150 yards east of the pillar. Modern circular pillar whose appearance is not helped by the graffiti on it. Superb views of the Channel Tunnel terminal more than make up for it.

Easy located as only a few feet from the road, with near by lay-by. Pillar is in reasonable condition, plug missing. I don't think this was the best example of concrete i've ever seen. No views today as thick (freezing) fog.

Good views over the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Folkestone for which this cylindrical pillar was built. There's a lay-by just passed the parking spot which is opposite the pillar. This trig never had a Flush Bracket, but the spider is conventional. Plug missing.
