We parked up in the large lay-by on Woolley Low Moor Lane, nipped over the road and into the woods opposite. There are no fences or dissuasive signage, and plenty of clear paths on the ground, so access was very straightforward. The pillar sits atop a small rocky hill two hundred metres to the south, and is in good condition albeit weathered and with a replacement asphalt cap. We returned the same way, enjoying the lovely views over to the Emley Moor mast. Pillar #86 for my little trigbagger.

Park in the nearby layby where you can see stunning views and the nearby Emley Moor transmitting station which is taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 38 metres shorter than the iconic Berliner Fernsehturm, Germany's tallest tower. Cross the road and climb through the woodland heading uphill, this trig is a really easy one to bag!

Parked in the lay-by with the view point of Emley Moor before taking the path through the woods for the short walk to the top of the hill. Unfortunately there's no view of Emley Moor at the pillar site, just the woodland. It is in generally good condition but the original centre for the spider has been replaced.

(1514) A lovely one to bag. Good parking at the layby. Cracking views to be had - Emley Moor mast visible and the sound of Buzzards ringing out. The pillar is situated within a pleasant narrow woodland, though I didn't see any private signs as others have stated. Path to the pillar well worn. All good, though the plug is non original, and the FB appears to be set slightly skew-whiff. Pillar history: Built on the 29th of May 1937, at a cost of £5 5s 4d. Last maintained by the OS in August of 1985.

A straightforward find from the viewpoint on Woolley Edge Ln. Cross the road and enter the wood opposite then follow the obvious track South for about 0.1mile. Where this track forks, take the left branch up the hill. Keep heading up and you will soon spot the pillar above you on a rocky outcrop. All sight holes filled and resin cap. Views are limited due to trees - probably even more so in the summer months. Flush bracket faces NE. I walked down to West Bretton and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for a lap of the lakes prior to bagging this pillar. In my opinion, this trig pillar was better than most things on offer in the sculpture park !!

Trig easy to find, no obvious objections to be seen as a path runs to just below the trig which is on a prominent rise of earth. It is a shame about the trees, but other views can be obtained nearby. From here we were into the Sculpture park and a wild camp in Deffer Woods. Pool Hill tomorrow!

Log #84. (176m). Leg 2 of a 10.7km, 2-trig fabulous hike from the National Coal Mining Museum, Overton via Chapel Hill Trig, Stoneycliffe Nature Reserve, The Sculpture Park, here, then on to Bretton Park. This Trig sits serenely amongst woodland on the edge of the Woolley Moor plateau, overlooking old quarry workings and the deep Dearne Valley below. Unfortunately, the magnificent views are hidden by the trees. If you are travelling by car however, park at the Woolley Edge Lane viewpoint CP and after savouring the views, walk up Common Lane a few meters to access one of the many paths thru the woodland to reach the trigpoint. The woodland is private and displays no trespass warnings but the paths are well used and the walk thru the woodland is magnificent. High score even without views from the trigpoint.

Woolley Edge Trig The Pillar. Id be happy if I was parked here too!

Easily accessible and quite visible. On top edge of woodland with numerous walked paths through it, none of which are shown as paths on the map. Pillar in good condition views somewhat restricted due to woodland - better views from parking areas down on the road.

Trig in exceptionally good nick. In a lovely little bit of woodland with distant views to the West. Just the place for a Sunday stroll with the family.

A nice spot but trig could do with a coat of paint. All sighting holes closed, plug replaced by cover. Located at the top edge of a fringe of woodland above road; easy access. Extensive views westward are now obscured by the trees.

top of the eastern edge of a little bit of west sloping woodland. Michelle Hogg's 29th birthday, my partner and mother of the son about to be born in 26 days time on 1/7/99, later also given the trig nickname, Trig Pillocksson, for hopefully obvious reasons, with this trig having the flush bracket number of his 86th birthday. Number deliciousness.
