Geocache Description:

Yorke's Folley is situated on a ridge above Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale with supurb views down Nidderdale.

THIS WAS HARROGATE HUNTERS FIRST CACHE HE PLACED !

 

 This Cache is placed at Yorke's Folley, on a ridge above Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. There are fantastic views from the folley down to Pateley Bridge below you and along Nidderdale.

The folley (two towers) was built by a local and influential family, the Yorkes, to provide work at the time of depression. Each worker received a loaf of bread and 4 old pennies per day they worked.

Parking is availiable at N54.04.155 W001.45.811 and it is a short walk (approx 0.4km) to the cache. (Alternative N54 04.056 W001 45.752)

Why not take a longer walk taking in the nearby In the Rubble cache....

 

The cache is in a small tupperware box.

This was the first ever cache placed by Harrogate Hunters, and in my opinion still one of the best !

 

Good luck.....
