Cows with calves in field. Lovely farmer in yard, asked permission and he walked with me down the lane and held my dog while I walked up behind wall to Trig. He said they were unsettled after groups of people had walked through that morning and didn't want them to frighten me. What a thoughtful farmer.

Friendly farmer (ex fellow Myerscough OB) pointed me in the right direction. The pillar is situated under the only prominent tree on the skyline. The surprise view of Manchester was a plus on the edge of this rural plateau.

In the middle of a field of cows, parked at farm farm and then asked for permission to visit the trig point. Cows were very noisy so a good job we asked for permission. Cut mark on barn which took us a while to find https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm62735

Farmer allowed permission to cross field to access. Normally cows are in the field. Amazing views from the trig point. Can see Manchester, and winter hill and beyond.

From parking area at the cross roads nearby. After visiting the Pillar we headed for Bentley Hall Rd and Walshaw. From here we lunched at a Reservoir I’ve forgotten the name of, then headed to the top of Ainsworth. From here we followed the Rotary Way back to the car

Stroll in the unexpectedly beautiful countryside up the hill - oh and by mistake - another trig. Cows come up for a look, the time of Summer when foxgloves are coming to an end and the willowherb masses. Said a distant hello to the rheas and pigs afterwards.

Lunched in Ramsbottom basking in the sunshine. Out on A676 and turned off through Affetside, pausing to admire their Millennium Green. No one in sight at farm and no answer at house, so used wicket gate by house into graasy field and a short distance to pillar. Despite the sunshine the distant hills just grey haze.

No plug. Private. High Barn Farm. Field of long grass & buttercups easily accessed at public footpath junction at south end. Then simply handrail wall on left up to top of hill.
