This is where the Royal Oak trig point once stood (223m) near Bishop Auckland.
From the car, cross the road and take the footpath to the left.
Keep your eyes peeled for a faint left fork in the path, following the fence line of the plantation.
Look out for the style into the plantation on the left.
From here it is a case of heading into the trees and finding the highest point in the plantation.
I found an oak tree that I like to think is where it once stood.
