Headed north up Leisure drive, went passed BerryHill farm entrance and parked on verge by the next ROW. Loosely followed path up hill but took easier route than cut a few corners at the top

From village of Priors Hardwick at start of footpath headed uphill south east at first for about three hundred metres, then spotted open gate to south and headed for that, then continued south along the edge of a field which was being harvested. Veered east and joined the bridleway heading south. Went through a gate and south along another field being harvested. Past a tumble down barn to west. A couple of hundred metres further south, reached the field edge. No sign of pillar, decided to check detailed map on here, showing pillar to south west corner of field. Not visible from east side so crossed through hedge to west , turned south and it was at the corner. Covered by weeds and vegetation to east. View south ok. Cap plugged. Tidied up a bit.

Surprised this one has so few photos... Millennium Way leads from roadside between sheepfields. Half a dozen sheep had escaped onto the path, but soon ran back into their field as I approached! Very muddy, particularly around the gates. Pillar is not actually in the field with the derelict barn, but in the field behind it, on the corner behind the gap next to the blue barrel. Good view across to Charwelton from the field on the way up.

Parked to the northeast on Welsh Rd. Walked the Millennium Way, short detour off path to trig point on corner of field. Lots of signs to telling you to keep on the footpath.

Walked in from the East on Bridleway.Good intermittent views,nothing brilliant from pillar though.The building marked near pillar on Explorer are just barns so guess a West approach would be quicker

We walked up the bridletrack which leads off the Priors Hardwick to Upper Boddington Road near London End. A pleasant walk up through sheepy fields and then across a rape field to the trig. Tarmac plug.

Parked in the centre of Priors Hardwick and had to overcome the disappointment of the pub having been converted to a restaurant and being closed. Never mind, the walk out of the village and up the hill to the trig was pleasant if very windy. The trig is near a hedge and relatively easy to access. It is in OK condition with a concrete plug.
