Second visit to the UK low point. Didn't bother climbing down into the ditch this time though. Also didn't dig out the GPS to record location.

Extra interest being 2.7.m below sea level!

So! it's not a trigpoint! - but it has a Flush Bracket and it is a very interesting location - well worth a visit.

A flush bracket on the 1957 post. Interesting because of its mention in the Guinness Book of Records (1994 edition - Depression p14, Lowest lying area in Great Britain at 2.7 metres below sea level and - Roads: Lowest p128, lowest surface roads in Great Britain are just below sea level in the Holme Fen area at 2.75 metres below sea level) as well as the beauty of it lying in a National Nature Reserve.
