Dorket Head trig point
The triangulation pillar is not as short as it looks as the ground level has been raised, and is now about half-way up the flush bracket (on the right hand face).
Originally this location would have commanded extensive views between east and south west, with the nearest higher ground being on the Leicestershire Wolds, Charnwood Forest and Needwood Forest. Although only of modest height (approx 145 metres), in the direction of view of this picture the next higher ground is the Ural Mountains of Russia.
