Penpole Point is a stone sundial standing at 67m on the western end of the hill. It marks the end of the Kings Weston estate.
There used to be great views from here but in recent years it's become overgrown. Still a nice place to sit and enjoy a break from your walk.

Guessing that there used to be great views from here but now the trees obscure Shirehampton and factories below. Good to sit for a moment and get your breath!
