About The Salford Seven Caches
The Salford Seven Caches celebrate the parish of Salford Priors.
The Parish comprises the villages of Salford Priors, Abbot’s
Salford and Dunnington and the hamlets of Iron Cross, Pitchill,
Rushford and the Bevingtons (Cock Bevington, Wood Bevington and
Bevington Waste).
More information about the Salford Seven and walks in the parish
can be found at Seven
Walks. Many of the nuggets of information on these pages are
taken from Mr Bolstridge’s fabulous pamphlet.
One Cache is placed in each of the Seven, plus there is a
Bonus Cache once all 7 main Caches have been completed. Each
cache contains a special item for the FTF, with the Bonus Cache’s
being best of all!
For those with limited time, or kiddie-Cachers in tow, each Cache
can be completed as a ‘Cache & Dash’, with parking less than a
mile from the Cache location in each case. Each Cache details the
distance to the next, in case you wish to string two or three
together!
For the more leisurely Cacher, the seven Caches have been connected
into an 8 mile circular walk. The route can be found at
CacheWalker.
The walk passes close by all 3 public houses in the parish,
allowing the Cacher ample opportunity for refreshment!
The Bonus Cache is approximately 1 mile from the suggested parking
place (which you pass on the walk), adding a further 2 miles to the
walk if completed en route.
To find the co-ordinates of the Bonus Cache (in the format N
XX YY.ZZA W A BB.CDD, where each different letter indicates
a different cache), those for the start of a useful footpath, and
those for the suggested parking place, you will need to visit all 7
main Caches. Please check the inside cover of the logbook for the
required information!
Please take great care at all times. Some areas may be very muddy
or overgrown! The B4088 can also get very busy and do remember that
this is an agricultural/ industrial area, even though it’s in the
middle of the countryside, so please be aware of slow and heavy
vehicles trundling down the lanes!!
About The Salford Seven #2 – Dunnington
Approx. distance to
Cache #3: 1.75 miles
Dunnington is home to the other Church and School that serve the
parish. It is also home to Hillers Farm Shop, which sells local
fruit and veg (ideally located in this fertile agricultural
valley!), as well as meat from the Ragley Estate and fish. The shop
also has a miniature steam train, coffee shop and open gardens –
plenty to entertain the whole family!
The original church was built in 1841 with the present, larger,
building completed in 1878. The chapel was used in the Second World
War to store television equipment from Alexander Palace!
