did not climb fence.
I've been wanting to come and find this Pillar and the monument nearby for a while, but never had the opportunity - so decided to give it a go this cold and frosty morning before any golfers were around. Walking up to the reservoir however, I discovered the new fence, and only a locked gated entrance. After a walk round the perimeter I decided to give up, when at that moment a van arrived, and the gate was unlocked. I realised this would be my moment, so went through,and asked permission to go up tot he top, which the nice gentlemen were only too happy to agree to, so up I went. Wonderful view even at this time, such a bizarre spot for a pillar though!
Third time lucky - beaten off twice by angry groundsmen so a very early morning raid this time.No problems at this hour but fence seems much improved from previous logs.I could onlyget access at rear of compound by climbing the 7ft fence via a gate which offered a foothold
Visited during walk from boat on canal at Moore to Warrington Bank Quay station. Most of golfers were already in clubhouse for Sunday lunchtime. Good views to Clwydian Hills & Fiddlers Ferry power station.
Bagged on way home from fishing parked next to footpath enterence on grass verge,follow path across links golf course then a tarmac path turns left towards res acsess easy fence has many gaps.trig in exellent condition with original plug exellent views here even a monument with lions.
Climbed wrong reservoir first which didn't help as had done 22 mile race in the morning. Lots of golfers, but fortunately I was ignored. interesting misty views.
Used the RoW to access the trig. Climbed up on top of the wrong reservoir to begin with. Went to the trig point and then went to the wonderful nearby monument that I found it impossible to find out ant informaiton about Google. Walked back via the clubhouse.
Lots of golfers about who didn't seem too keen to see me. took PROW across course round back of reservoir. when you reach a small pond the trig is visible and a quick dash can be made
Easy access off ROW At top of hill on Res Told by golfers we were off the path Told them we were playing here next week and had come to look at there wonderful course at which they agreed and said carry on ( will use this again )
I got up very early and walked very furtively accross the golf course. Even at that early hour the groundsmen were out and about.
Appleton Park. Parked opposite the enterance to the golf club, then it,s a 5 minute walk to the top. decent views for a small top and a nice lion statue. Super October blue sky day.
Walked up through golf course.
parked in road near golf club car park and walked up to trig without being challenged, resr railing still down in places so no problem with access,nice views.Warrington u/a top.
Took ROW across golf course then headed for mast.Pillar in easily accesable resevoir complex which also contains excellent monument.Nice views
As others have said surpringly good views. The golf course was almost deserted at the end of the day.
Access from the A49 along the golf course footpath then up a path past the 7th tee and through one of the many gaps in the fence. Surprisingly good views.
Parked on grass verge just opposite RoW on main road - golfers didn't look my way.
Easy access from the RoW, the golfer I passed by the reservoir just nodded hello. Sun just setting as I approached - setting behind the cooling towers! Beautiful!?
It was early morning, but the greenkeepers onm the golfcourse were out in force!
Visit timed to coincide with the golfers finishing their day. Access from N via footpath then through gappy fence. Trig guarded by lions! Plug intact; good views NW towards Runcorn.
Good views at location as well as an interesting monument nearby. Trigpoint in very good condition.
Good views. Interesting Victorian Looking monument. Close enough to the entrance of the Golf Club to walk in and out quickly. Simple gate to climb over.
Parked opposite the golf club as they had a few people in chasing white things and dragging heavy bags. Reservoir has a new keep out notice due to a transmitter but the gate is an easy hop. nice monument as well but didn't hang around to investigate as I was too visible on the top.
Done whilst County Top Bagging - is near the top for Warrington, Trig is on top of a reseviour and near a monument - for the full story please visit - http://www.wheresthepath.com/county_tops/CT_Warrington.htm

3/30 for the day. Odd location - on top of reservoir in middle or golf course - nice one!
On top of a reservoir in a golf course. Not too heavily defended, got in crawling between the railings, only to find that the pillar was not in the same place as shown on the 1:25000 map, and that there was a simple gate out. A very ornate monument is nearby.
In a nice spot, well kept, by monument, on top of closed reservoir, by golf course Private |
