I was on my way home from business in Taunton and this was a good choice, easy to find from the M5 following the signs to Sand Bay. Free NT car park, although somewhat full of puddles and no ice cream man today. Short walk to trig, v easy to find. My regret is that this must be awesome when the weather is clearer, but that's all part of the game I guess. Trig in good condition, nice spot to let the mind wander...

Cracking views all around. Pillar in great nick except the bottom of the "2" and "6" on the FB are slightly damaged at their bases. The centre brass plate on top is missing with the void filled with cement. Walked to Sand Point with the kids and watched the incoming tide swirling past the headland and covering the sand banks over the Langford Grounds. Some fascinating geology. Parked in free NT car park nearby and kids got ice creams for their efforts!

A bit misty but still great views of the bay. You do this one as a warm-up exercise for Brean Down... in fact when I did this one, I actually had the map printout for Brean Down in my hand and was thinking, once I got to the trig, how short the distance was.... Then I realised my error!

Interesting name. Accessible, via the road, from the Sand Bay coast road. Good parking at the end of this road, then a 300m walk up onto the headland to the trig. Superb views from here across the Bristol Channel to the Holmes and South Wales and also south to Worlebury Hill and Weston-s-Mare. Trig in good conditin, we didn't hang around as it was an overcast and blustery day threatening rain and had lots left to do.

A very short stroll from the National Trust car park , which I returned to afterwards for a monstrously sized ice-cream, I'm going on a diet now, it was my last hurrah before starting. Anyway, as I was saying, a short walk up to this pillar. Views abounded all around, Brean Down, Birnbeck Island, The Mendips, Clevedon, The Severn Bridges, Steep Holm, Flat Holm and The Welsh Coast. The pillar has slight weathering on one flank but otherwise its in very good nick.

The Old Man has a thing about going to the seaside on his birthday, and as we were in Bath this was the nearest place. Very misty and rather cold, but could still glimpse the Welsh coast; trig is in good condition, and there's a good circular walk from the car park, round the point, NE up the coast to a small shingle beach and back along the downland to the car.

Parked in the NT car park and walked up the path to the cliff top. Flush bracket numbers 2 & 6 have the bottoms missing, a ‘casting’ error by the looks, found the same at our next trig at Dial Hill as well. No view; completely fogged. Didn’t hang about, the cold was eating through our gloves, raced back to the car.

The pillar stands on the grassy top of a ridge on a headland that separates the Mouth of the Severn and the Bristol Channel to the north of Weston-super-Mare. The pillar is painted white, has an asphalt plug and FB S//3269. There is a National Trust car park nearby to the south. My walk consisted of a circuit of the National Trust land. The north shore has some low cliffs and shingle beaches; the south has extensive mud flats of Sand Bay; the western point is rocky and to the east there is grassy sheep pasture near Woodspring Priory. The trig has outstanding views. The coast and mountains of South Wales can be seen the other side of the Severn to the north; the Severn Bridges are to the northeast; Clevedon to the east; the Mendips to the southeast; Sand Bay and Worlebury Hill are to the south; Brean Down, Steep Holm and Flat Holm are to the south and west with the outline of the distant hills of West Somerset just about visible further down the Bristol Channel. Part of the Middle Hope headland has been designated a SSSI for its geology and flora and the shore is part of the Severn Estuary SSSI.

Fabulous day! Views right across to South Wales, Steep Holm, Flat Holm, Sand bay and Weston-s-Mare. The pillar is splendidly white with an ashphalt plug replacement. All sightholes are open. The flush bracket is one of those with a 'high S' above the number. The base of the '2' and '6' have been chipped away. Concrete plinth around the base is exposed all round between 6 and 8 inches. magnificent spot! Off now to find the Point of View geocache.
