    Tips

    January 5, 2023

    Where maps and the British landscape are concerned, Cold Ashby has something of a claim to fame. It was here, on 18 April 1936, that the Ordnance Survey's first trig pillar was erected, starting the Retriangulation of Great Britain, which saw over 11,000 pillars installed in order to accurately map the land.

    Unsurprisingly, given Cold Ashby's selection as a trig point venue, it occupies high ground. In fact, this is the highest village in Northamptonshire, at 656 feet (200 m) above sea level.
