No crops so easy walk over from main road.

In the middle of a field of growing crop, which I was not inclined to walk through - so viewed from the road.

Good condition. Plug missing. Field recently cleared of crops so lots of mud stuck to boots.

High fence by car park initially looked a problem but just needed to walk down to bridleway where fence missing! Middle of field trig. Plug missing, hole unfilled. Evidence of repair work to concrete at top of pillar.

There is a car park alongside the field in which the pillar is located. On the day of my visit it appeared that the crop in the field had been harvested. However, there was a tall fence topped with barbed wire in the way, and I didn't fancy the climb. From other logs it would seem that there is easier access from the main road. The pillar is clearly visible about 100 yards across the field, and appears to be in good condition.

The Trig Pillar can be seen clearly from the road but didn't particularly fancy tresspassing over a field of crops - might have a go when crops have been harvested though.

Gap in fence on A-road next to copse, then a 100 yard walk across crop to the pillar.

For some reason I had not got it into my head that this one was in a field so it came as a bit of a shock.I have driven past this place so many times and never stopped before.What a view! Good trig if a little hard to get to.

Didn't go any closer than the car park as I was in the middle of a long walk and couldn't be bothered to be honest :) Could see the pillar very clearly from about half a mile away.

Is this a foot or a head? Rather windswept and dull in early Feb but at least easy access across very stony and unploughed field. Easily seen from road when no crops.

Mid field twilight walk before calling it quits and going to the B+B. Yes access at corner of main road and carbpark but vicious tight strung barbed wire as well. Last of 7 trigs and a geocache on the day

Missing plug. A bit trespassy as it's in the middle of a field in full view of the road and car park....

Unreachable as it's in the middle of a farmer's field, but visible from the road. Looks in fairly good condition as far as I could tell

In more favourable weather conditions 270 degree view. Current condition of field - stubble has not been ploughed for winter wheat. Access from A272 via gap in fence adjacent to junction of field fence and that for Cheesefoot Head car park.

Could just see the TP through the mist & drizzle. Could not reach it as it is in the middle of a standing crop of barley? I will return!

Located on a bike ride on the hottest day of the century. Didn't attempt to reach it across crops. Good southerly panorama from nearby.

The trig from the nearby A road. Sweat on the lens!
