Unfortunately the surrounding rocks provide the temptation for visitors to try to bash lumps off the pillar. Seen on a beautiful March day clear and dry with great views all round.

Sun shining! Long Mynd in the distance

Drove up lane from Pitchfolds on the main road and parked at first junction at top of lane on grassy triangle area. Started off by walking up lane towards The Hollies and just a short distance after passing the info board set off east up hill towards the trig point. Heading up to lone tree in an area which may have been mined, then turning north on a faint path towards the trig point. Another great location and views, we returned via the faint path but then headed down to the east of the stream nearer to our parking spot.

This is a nice location that I don't think is visited that often. It offers a better view than I expected over to Stiperstones and across the valley.

Keep this at a 5 because of the mist - soon to be torrential rain. It is a glorious spot, thanks I assume to local landowners not a good one to link up with other hills despite the proximity. Have always loved this hill for it's "signature" pine plantation. More fine oaks and parasol fungi.

...of course the cloud cleared when we left...briefly

Parked on the grass triangle to the SW like a few other triggers and headed on up the hill ... once you're clear the whins aim for the solo tree on the horizon which is south of the pillar... once passed the tree, turn north up towards the summit and the pillar ... great all round views of the shire! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwNVrPd66Pk

Parking awkward, room for one or 2 vehicles at SO 32960 93815, but 4WD neeeded for the mud. Approached from NW after bagging Cefn Gunthly. Some animal tracks through heather but very limited. Lovely top with extensive panoramic views. Pillar found with fair bit of missing concrete - almost in the 'Damaged' category. Evidence of some patching up, presumably by the OS. Surprisingly, original cap in place, raised lettering; rear sight hole open, LHD plug degrading. Marilyn summit approx 6m N at cairn.

All ready 6pm on a sweltering hot day when I arrived at the bottom. Left bike on very minor road to South by notice of "open access land". Initially there seemed to be a path beside trees and stream through vegeatation. Passed some small old mine. Became open rough grassland, but the final 200 yards were through heather and low plants - hard going. Wide views from top. No paths in evidence at top.

The pillar stands next to a large cairn and shelter on a gorse topped hill to the north of Bishop’s Castle. It was computed in 1949 and maintained in 1976. The top corners are a bit battered. It has FB S5204 and the spider is plugged by a metal cap with raised narrow lettering. I also parked on the grass triangle at the end of the straight lane and walked around to the north of the hill to reach the path to the summit. To the north low flat land could be seen disappearing into a distant haze between the nearby Stiperstones and Bromlow Callow. The Breidden Hills and Long Mountain are to the north-west with the feint outline of the Berwyns on the horizon. A broad vale heads towards Wales to the west with the Cambrian Hills in the distance. The long ridge of the Kerry Hills is to the south with other hills and ridges of the Marches in the distance. The Long Mynd rises up the other side of a broad valley to the east with the top of a more distant hill visible further on.

Second cardio-vascular workout of the day. Short sharp ascent from minor raod where it meets access land. Looks like this is the Southern tip of the Stiperstones ridge. Curlews circling the summit which has a large cairn.

Far less frequently visited than nearby Stripestones. Tried to park to the north and walk in from there but there seems to be a right of way that ends just before the road and no access to it. Instead drove to the south west on the minor road and parked on the triangle. Follow the track in till you are north of the trig and there is a feint path up along the shoulder.
