Menceles Trig Point
Trig Point In Chillingham, Northumberland
This is the trig point for Menceles (78m) near Chillingham.
Height - 78m // Bracket - S3554 // Postcode - NE66 4PZ
This is the Menceles trig point (78m) near Chillingham in Northumberland.
The trig sits in the middle of a permissive path surrounded by fields, so you can either come at from a few directions.
The route from the east is shorter, but you could be a nuisance with parking, so best to head from the west. Park across the road from the telephone exchange on the A697 on a grassy verge and head past the exchange and follow the path all the way to the trig point.
You'll find it slightly hidden in a bush and behind a wire fence, but you can still recah out to tap it to secure the bagging.
Just follow this route to the trig, or find it on OS Maps. Just over 1km and 17m ascent.

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue Pele tower up a remote hill or a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
