TP4557 - Low House Farm
Logged Visits:
A trigpoints with its own cairn and seat. Good views out to sea. Logged with the android app. If there was a best kept trigpoint competition this would stand a good chance of winning. Someone has put a lot of effort in here.

easy walk from the farm,very nice paint job.
This trig has been adopted as a memorial to the miners who lost their lives in the Cleveland ironstone mines. Now has new coat of paint, gravel garden, white marker stones and large stone cairn. Shame the access to it was through the farm at the end road which has a distinctly ify aroma!
Easy trig to bag from Low House Farm at side of track. Good condition no views.
Easy to find in gap in hedge on side of main track. The field of thistles was not appreciated on my approach route though! Good condition with plug intact. 5th and last log of the day and a sprint home as I was already late.
Easy descent from parking just before the Low House Farm.
Plug intact; N side of track just to E of top. Hazy dozy day. View of pyramids.
