As June is now with us and summer really does seem to be 'icumen in' I was drawn to this rather bucolic photograph submitted by a fan of the website. It is just off the A38 (aka the Devon Expressway) between Exeter and Okehampton in Devon and so would be an ideal stop off for pylon fans heading to the…

This month's pylon was yet again submitted by a fan of the website. A waiting list is now developing and so if you have sent a picture then please be patient. This picture was taken on the English side of the Old Severn Bridge. Those keen to avoid mixing up their Severn crossings should go…

This month's pylon is shown off to great effect by what is without doubt the best photograph up to now to appear on Pylon of the Month.

This month's pylon comes complete with a warning about the dangers of procrastination. Regular readers who just want to look at pylons without any improving message or moral baggage need not worry. I promise that it will not become a regular occurrence. I was on holiday with my family in Northern Ireland, staying near Rasharkin in a…

August's Pylon of the Month comes all the way from Turkey. If you happen to be in the area of Selcuk on (or at least very near) the Aegean coast then take the main road out towards Aydin and this pylon is on the left after about 3 miles. Whilst you are in Selcuk you…

As the summer holiday season is starting, July's Pylon of the Month has been specially chosen to maximise your chance of getting to see it as you travel up and down the country. It is located just after Spaghetti Junction on the M6 (East), just after the Holiday Inn, just before junction 4a on the…
