St Cuthberts Cave first then up to Greensheen, tune at the top. Wee bit windy today. Views in all directions pretty fine! Parked in NTS carpark, when we got back at 1130 or so it was pretty full.

With Lesley, the dogs, the 5 miles route round Holborn Moss and on to the Percy Arms for Sunday lunch ~~ 26/05/24 This time with Paddy Kane, a more accurate Grid Ref reading and Sunday lunch in the Whittling House in Alnmouth ~~ 19/11/23 With Gil Leaning & Rupert Clark, then on to the Percy Arms in Chatton for the best Sunday Roast dinner I've had in ages ~~ 06/10/23 Same 5 mile walk as last couple of times, with Dr Mike ~~ 04/02/23 Same route as previous, with Steve Lyon & Louise Evans. This was the first Trig Point I've bagged with Stevey since Mount Keen in March 2003 when I was on my way to compleating the Munros ~~ 17/12/22 In snow and ice, and a fourth different route of approach - a 5 mile walk starting at Holburn Grange, NE along SCW via the cave, NW around Copsey Hill and then a gentle ascent SE up past Holborn Lake. A really enjoyable route, great views E and W throughout. In the company of Richard Hoban ~~ 10/02/22 third different route, with Lucy Frost. Took the most straight forward approach from the NT car park at Holburn Grange, via St Cuthbert's Cave (not too badly damaged by Storm Arwen). The walk up to the TP from the cave on a day of yet more very strong winds was exhilarating, but the views were clear and extensive but standing up straight to admire them was extremely difficult ~~ 31/05/20 2nd visit, different route - from the SE parked just before Swinhoe Farm and followed ROW through delightful woods past Swinhoe Lake before cutting W up SCW. Views of Holy Island made more spectacular by rolling sea fret swirling round the castle. Views to the W on a cloudless day were just stunning.

A nice easy walk up, which revealed extensive views along the coast & inland up on the top ridge. Lots of people around escaping the wall to wall coverage of Lizzies funeral on the telly. A grand location to spend half an hour admiring the views on a pleasant afternoon.

Lovely walk, short, easy, good path, fantastic views of the Cheviots and Lindisfarne. Almost too windy to stand up and take a photo at the trig, and it wasn’t a windy day anywhere else! Tons of lovely, juicy blackberries in the hedgerow by the path

Parked at Old Hazelrigg and walked north a short way along StCW before heading E along a 'footpath' through a plantation (its on the map, but it's long since been overgrown and traceless) skirting the northern slopes of the delightfully named Dancing Green Hill, before eventually finding the forest track leading NE to Dick's Oldwalls (another great name) before taking footpath NW across fields to TP and back via the cave & StCW. A route that looked good on paper but the section through the wood I would not recommend to anybody!! Once reached though, the TP is in a superb location affording fantastic views over Holy Island east and the northern Cheviot Hills to the west, I have this TP ear-marked for repeat visits in the future...though probably sticking to the tourist route from Holburn Grange next time!

Visited after doing circular walk from Holburn Grange to St Cuthberts Cave and Swinhoe Farm. What a superb viewpoint. This is as good as Ros Castle just to the south for views of the Cheviots and the coast. Easy ascent from the cave to reach this one, surrounding ground is dry with a good path to trig. Got there, had a bite to eat on a nice but chilly day, then watched the sunset behind Cheviot and Hedgehope. Then to the Bluebell in Belford for a few pints of Black Sheep, superb!

It was getting dark but the Cheviots, Holy and the Farne islands were well depicted. This trig can be done as a circular with the well hidden Sheperdskirk Hill

I visited this while walking St. Cuthbert's Way. This was my first view of Holy Island, and it was good to have the end literally in sight!

First visit. To record FB number. HISTORY: Pillar built c1936, cost not on record. Computed as primary triangulation station PP344 within Figure 3 of the OSGB36 primary network of the Retriangulation of Great Britain during 1937. This station was also used for the reconnaissance of secondary blocks NZ29 (Newcastle) in 1947, NT86 (Berwick) in 1953, and NT72 (Jedburgh) during 1957. Levelled to second class precision in 1958. The final pre-GPS maintenance by the OS was in July 1993. This marker continues to be maintained by the OS as a GPS passive station. SITE VISIT: Primary trig pillar in good condition and recently painted. Spider retained OS centre plug. White painted flush bracket faces S8059, Hedgehope Hill.
