Nice wander over from Walney nature reserve in the rather moist dull autumnal weather. Pillar located next to a wooden tower of some sort and an old fire beacon. Can see Piel Island castle through the mist. Pillar has had quite a bit chipped off the top exposing the spider but it still does have its original cap.

Some damage to the top screed with two spider-ends exposed but the pillar is otherwise OK. Breezy day; pleasant walk along the shore - apart from the motorbikes.

The second of the two Walney trigs. Parked up at bend in the road before it passes through the caravan site. Walked along the Coastal Path along the inner shoreline with nice views over towards Piel Castle before cutting across to the outer shoreline and up to beacon with the the pillar beside. Bit breezy so returned along the road through the caravans back to the car. Stopped off at the remote Queens Inn at Biggar on our way back to the mainland.

The "England Coast Path" will take you around Walney Island and is exceptionally well signed. Goes past this pillar and onto the nature reserve (protected site of only grey seal colony in Cumbria). Best visit Walney on a sunny day and when the tide is in. Piel Island beckons....must go soon and visit the newly appointed King. Gifted to Stagecoach for recruiting more women to drive their buses in Cumbria. Adds a bit of glamour to the journey.

Blackpool Tower with a ship in the foreground; across Morecambe Bay to Heysham with Walney Lighthouse in the foreground; the banks of wind turbines out to sea and my favourite-Ingleborough appearing behind Piel Island Castle.Sat on the cliff edge soaking up the sunshine and then walked down to the sand and the sea.

Spider retains OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces SSE, ~145°. Vented through SW sight hole. 360° open outlook from top. Disused mast alongside pillar may have been an old navigation beacon.

Pleasant enough spot with decent views but marred by the adjacent mast. Access from south along a cliff edge path from Pho Hill and carries on north to pass South End farm, (my old map shows 3 fields but actually it's now one large one) to give access to a rutted track that leads to join the road at Wylock Marsh. Access also available just below the old derelict farm where the map shows a track leading to the shore, at this piont the old walls have gone and it's now open field.

Approached from east, parking by Scar End Point and following mapped tracks. Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed in April 1949 costing £7.0s.3d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station SD47/17 in the Barrow-in-Furness block. Flush bracket S5375 was levelled for height in 1968. This marker was last maintained by the OS in October 1976. Spider retained original OS centre plug with shallow engraved letters, 12/09/1990. No photos taken.
