Geocache Description:


Car parking is at N 51°29.303, W 000°29.170. The entrance to the car park has very high kerbs to prevent large vehicles entering.

Harmondsworth Moor is the largest public park to be created in the London area in the last 100 years. It is built on 240 acres of reclaimed land near Heathrow Airport between the M4, M25 and A4 and has a mix of undulating meadowland, winding footpaths, bridleways, lakes and rivers - the Colne, the Duke of Northumberland's River and the Wraysbury River.

Around 70,000 mainly native trees have been planted and ancient meadows created using specially harvested seed to establish flowers and grasses once common to the area. There is a wide variety of insects resident, such as butterflies, grasshoppers and bush crickets, and many species of bird are breeding here, including lapwing, skylark, kingfisher and sand martin.

The cache is in the Glebelands area of the Moor.

Thank you to the Parkland Rangers for allowing us to place our caches.
