Trig point 270? ✅️🤔 Hornsea.
Replica trig pillars have been constructed, some more convincing than others. These were intended for decoration or novelty value and never used by surveyors. An example can be found at Hornsea, marking the East end of the Transpennine trail

Trig point 269 ✅️ Skirlington, Hornsea. Literally hanging on for dear life to the edge of the cliff. It could soon be gone as the cliff erodes beneath it. Visited July 2025 #allthetrigpoints #Hornsea #trigpillar

Trig point 266 ✅️
📍Moore Farm, Scunthorpe — a real middle-of-nowhere job. Weathered pillar at just 3 m above sea level, my lowest trig so far. Visited July 2025 #allthetrigpoints #Scunthorpe #trigpillar #OSmaps #history

Trig Point 265 ✅ – Sheffield Farm, Colne
Built in 1949 for £9 at 338m, this trig is dwarfed by the impressive Walton’s Monument. Its base is an ancient monolith thought to date back to the Dark Ages — history layered on history. Visited July 2025 #allthetrigpoints #trigpillar

Trig Point 264 ✅️
Lower Hill – Colne
Parked on Hill Lane and crossed a stile into a field that leads directly to the trig. The pillar was built in 1949 at a cost of £10.
The pillar stands at 239 m, offering good views across the surrounding area #allthetrigpoints #trigpillar

Trig Point 263 ✅ – Caverley, Cheshire
An easy roadside trig tucked away in a farmer’s field, though slightly elusive thanks to the surrounding overgrowth. Built in February 1940, this pillar proudly stands 65 metres above sea level. Visited in July 2025 #allthetrigpoints #trig

Trig point 262 ✅️ Pildacre Hill, Dewsbury. Visited back in June 2025 and unfortunately lost to housing #allthetrigpoints #maps #trigbagging

Trig Point 261 ✅️ Hill Top, Dewsbury. Removed in 1990 when developers decided concrete pillars weren’t “on trend.” This 1980s picture shows its glory days. I visited in June, because who doesn’t enjoy a good missing-trig adventure? #allthetrigpoints #maps #history #dewsbury

Trig point 260 ✅️ Whitley Resr, Dewsbury. A cheeky climb over a 5ft stone wall to reach the pillar. Logged from a sunny visit back in June #allthetrigpoints #maps #history #solitude #adventuretime #outdoors #dewsbury #trigpillar

Explored the awe-inspiring Temple of Apollo in Didim yesterday! 🏛️ The grandeur of those ancient columns and the echoes of history left me speechless. Truly a timeless wonder by the Aegean Sea. 🌊✨ #Didim #TempleOfApollo #AncientHistory #Turkey

A few more from Saturday on Ben Nevis. I am so proud of my daughter for climbing it with me 💛 #bennevis #fortwilliam #Scotland #cloudinversion #fatheranddaughter

[John DCC #allthetrigpoints @allthetrigpoint]

@TrigHappyTV We were going to climb it on Sunday, but after seeing the forecast, I switched my holidays with work. Amazing day and very lucky with the weather

[John DCC #allthetrigpoints @allthetrigpoint]

Cloud inversions on Ben Nevis yesterday. Perfect weather 👌
