Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of 3 caches around Craven Arms in Shropshire and they are designed to take you to places that were ancient and modern trackways of one form or another. The cache is a medium sized click and lock container. It’s at the end of an easy walk of about 1 Kms over fields and stiles and along a quiet lane

The history of this area is both fascinating and surprising so I hope you will enjoy the series.   When you find the cache there is a small information sheet inside the lid that will tell you all about the site.

 

There are 3 caches in the series:

Roman Woad

Flying in Stile

Wheels and Weirs

 

With many other caches close bye and 2 on the way to Roman Woad

Craven A

Sallow Coppice

 

The best place to start all of the walks to these caches is the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre.  The grid ref and waypoint are attached.  Park up there, have a look around the Centre and sally forth!

 

GPS coverage should be good here and the hiding place will be in full view!  Beware muggles and be careful not to be seen either removing or replacing the cache.  Make sure you go to the back of the Church where there is a great view of the River Onny and a working water wheel.   Many thanks for the vicar for allowing the cache to be placed on Hallowed ground.  To make a nice round trip follow the road along past the old schoolhouse and then left over a path to the footbridge over the River Onny.  From here there is a permissive footpath that takes you back along the other bank of the river.
