You will see a triangulation station at the far end of a small parking area.
A triangulation station is a fixed surveying station used in geodetic surveying and other surveying projects in its vicinity. The names of triangulation stations vary regionally. They are generally known as trig points in the United Kingdom. Trig points are typically concrete pillars and were erected by the Ordnance Survey. Although stations are no longer required for many surveying purposes, they remain useful to hikers as navigational aids.
North Hill rises above the town, 900 feet from the sea. Minehead actually takes its name from North Hill: 'mynydd' in Welsh passed into Old English as 'myned', which means hill or mountain. Two ancient farms on the upper slopes of North Hill are still known as East and West Myne.
