Parked on the dusty pull in near to “the Criftin” to the east. Entered the wood on the adjacent bridleway and followed the fire track to the trig. Very easy to locate, on a small grassy gnoll to the south of the track.

We decided to have a short stop on our journey from Staffordshire to Gwynedd to bag this trig. Very pleased we did. Drove through Uffington (will try the pub next time) and pulled in at SJ 53238 13410 next to disused canal and under high voltage lines. The public footpath starts here and leads to a track. As others have mentioned, the trig is off the track. We then continued along this track through the woods on Haughmond Hill (a couple of left turns) before rejoining the public footpath back to the car.

A beautiful Autumn's day. On the way back home from Shropshire. Morning in the jewel that is Stokesay Castle. Last stop at Church Stretton... coffee and walnut cake and local cheeses. Then a quick hop to this beautiful hill - a fine trig then to the hilltop view (someone round here must like the Open University) seeing some joyous places from this year and all the others also looking with quiet happiness back towards the north.

Dirt pull-in on minor road to SW (SJ 5385 1294). RoW going NE seemed fine, but it doesn't easily link into the Haughmond Hill woodland. However, once in the woodland there are multiple paths to choose from. The pillar sits on a plinth just off one of them. It has a recess, presumably for a regimental crest, but whether fitted and lost or never fitted is unknown. Centre cap missing, tube has an asphalt plug; LHD side and rear sight holes open. No views.

Parked on the road to the south west of the pillar. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there which weaves its way up Houghmond Hill in a zigzag pattern. A footpath to the west of the pillar takes you from the PRoW up to the pillar. Great setting. This pillar was built by the Royal Engineers in the mid 1940's. They would place their regimental crest on to the pillar. However, whilst the pillar has a recess to hold a crest, the crest either was not installed or has been lost. Wynnstay Hall near Ruabon, Wrexham, was used as a training establishment for the Royal Engineers Survey Cadre, and as part of their training during the 1943-47 period, the trainees were tasked with building some of the secondary and third order pillars. 8 pillars have the crest. This pillar is 1 of 6 pillars which have the recess, but no crest.

Nice walk up from lane to south on footpath, which is shown on the map along the edge of a field. It actually enters the woodland very quickly and climbs the through wood to meet the Shropshire Way. There are lots of waymarked paths in this woodland and access to the trig point is very easy.

Handy parking area at the end of the footpath south of the pillar. Nice walk up though the wood with lots of paths not marked on my Landranger. No views but pleasant. The recess cast in the pillar is similar to the one on 11198 Peat Hill which apparently was for some sort of florescent panel used in observations?

Parked on roadside and walked up the steep side rather than parking in the car park and walking along the top of the escarpment. Much better route! Walked past the sculptures. One points towards the Wrekin, one towards brown clee hill and the other towards Rodney's pillar. I think they fit into the landscape very well. At last, a fine morning with great views.

Parked in the lay-by at the bottom of the forestry track on the south side. Brisk walk up to the trig in pouring rain. The last bag of the day and it was getting quite late with an hour's drive home. A delightful spot on this inlier of Pre-Cambrian rocks. The recess in the pillar is interesting to conjecture over, but not today. Off home for a warm and a beer. The last of 7 bags for me and 10 for TheGreatScandini.

On a rocky outcrop in the centre of an open-access woodland and a good playground for the local Shrewsburyites, I imagine. Concrete plug replacement. Some white paint. SW sighthole open, the others closed. Base exposed about 4" allround. Above the flush bracket there is a rectangular indentation which looks as if a plaque of some kind was here at one time. No views from here due to woodland, but had some spectacular views over Shrewsbury whilst making my way up here. Nice spot for a picnic. Off now to see the snowdrops at Attingham Park [after a pub lunch and a pint...].

Pleasent area to walk round, but stick to the paths: the woodland is very dense, and can be tough going. The pillar clearly had some extra adornment above the flush bracket.

Concrete top, possible marking of where there was an emblem on the pillar. Very limited view due to the trees.

Haughmond Hill: In a clearing, surrouded by trees and a familiar orienteering landmark(horrid brambly forest). The place for the Salop folk to empty their dogs, so watch your step. Good mountain biking as well. Pillar is OK except for a concrete plug replacement. Its on a plinth on a rocky piece of ground.
