Leicestershire County Council have been quite keen in their deployment of these posts with a bright yellow top to mark the points at which the footpaths pass over stiles or through gates. They are a bit obtrusive, but prove very useful as they are visible across even quite large fields, allowing the walker to cross through crop fields with the confidence that they are on the correct path. This one looks like it is a popular look-out spot for the local birds!
