Dist:0.2km<br/>With the line of sight inland blocked by the windmill, this must have been of limited value. There are, however, two other triangulation pillars within a mile to the East.

Dist:0.5km<br/>On a foggy day, with the sun almost breaking through. Now bypassed by Marldon Way to the east, Vicarage Road once formed part of the route by which traffic heading to Brixham avoided the coastal towns.
