Parked up in Barton le Street and did a circular walking to trig, over the hill to Coneysthorpe, and then back over the hill to Appleton le Street and onto Barton. Hadn't realised I was so close to Castle Howard. A further 16 benchmarks bagged. Bridlesways like bogs and makes difficult walking, but managed to stay upright and clean!

From gales to snow and ice, defeated in our first trig point by icy roads so on to this one. Parked at the West end of the ROW where there is parking for around three cars. Snowy / icy walk along to the trig.

Only viewed from bridleway along top of Coneysthorpe Bank Woods as I was being a responsible walk leader (taking a group on an 11ish mile circular from Welburn). That said, trig looks pretty accessible but with a rather muddy short stroll from the bridleway.

We enjoyed a lovely walk up from Coneysthorpe for this one - a revisit for me, and pillar #37 for my little trigbagger. Since my visit last year the hedge has been trimmed back, the crops have been harvested and the low fence between the ROW and the trig field is in a very poor state, so this one is presently very easy to access. Some vegetation from being hidden in the hedge has left the top of the pillar a bit obscured, but overall it's still in fine condition. We returned the same way.

Bagged from Barton-le-Street as part of a 5 mile dusk/night walk. Very overgrown trails and the trig was completely buried in the hedge. A bit of bushwhacking and I got in to look it over. Apart from extensive vegetation the pillar seems in good condition. Another point to note... going by the flattened crops and tracks leading to the spot I'd suggest this has been visited regularly but obviously not by folk logging here.

I’d planned a few trigpoints for my journey back from North Yorkshire and was going to park in Coneysthorpe for the walk to Barton Heights – got a surprise when I realised that I’d been here before on a walk round Castle Howard. Nice walk up through the woods on a lovely day – great views to the north.

Passed by on the footpath just to the south whilst walking a route called The Hovingham Hobble with my walking group - The Irregulars, LDWA. Visible from the footpath at the moment as hedge is leafless. Access is easy achieved by crossing low wire fence. Pillar is a bit weathered but in good condition. Reasonable views from this low level ridge.
