The cache is located just off the path along Mid wood, which is an ancient oak / birch woodland with the occasional beech, lime and rhododendron. The footpath is well marked but terrain can get difficult due to some steep gradients.
Philips park was officially declared as Burys first local nature reserve in October 1999, a designation that recognises it's importance for wildlide, education and recreation to the local community. The park owes it's name to the Philips family who owned the land from 1799 to 1948. They were responsible for the construction of the buildings and for many of the landscape features such as the majestic beech trees, the iron railings and the layout of the fields and paths that can be seen today. The Philips family retained some earlier natural and manmade features when they set about landscaping the park, the most significant being the ancient woodlands of North Wood, Mid Wood and Mere Clough and a Medieval Deer Pale that marked the southern and eastern boundries
The cache is a plastic container with small items and log. I have placed 5 caches along the Circular route, details of the route can be found on a noticeboard in the car park next to the play area. Start your journey from the car park, going clockwise round the route heading for mid wood. The route should take you about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete, bringing you back to the car park where you started.
The main entrance to the park is on Park Lane in Whitefield. Limited car parking is available
