Easy top along a road. Hard to find exact spot. | The Team | 01/08/2009 |
some where along the track to the farm. | asbown | 10/06/2009 |
Seems like a fairly random spot but had a good walk here from Beacon Batch. The spring flowers and butterflies in the green lane heading north from the twin aerials were particularly splendid. | Herbert Anchovy | 22/05/2009 |
Before doing Beacon Batch, not much to recommend. | Dugswell2 | 04/06/2008 |

Parked near Blaggdon Hill Farm then strodled along the track up to Leaze Farm stopping at the county top. Good views down over the lake. | Father Ted | 22/03/2008 |
Bit silly really. Went there as was there! Driving along the road takes you to the point. Get out of car and the old fence and posts are there. | destaylor | 14/05/2007 |
Did On Way Back From Isles of Scilly QAL 2 | shirley pbgv | 06/12/2006 |
Disappointing indeterminate point on minor road. Views across Blagdon Lake. However, a good round walk linked in nearby Beacon batch marilyn and the spectacular Burrington Coombe. | wheresthepath | 26/11/2005 |
