Reading previous logs before we came, we disregarded our magic arrows. After parking, we had a wee walkaround, admiring the views, then looked for the best way into the bush. There was a fairly well-established path of sorts which seemed the most logical to follow - and sure enough, there were the Maids' Quarters. Quite impressive, and very Indiana Jones (am I showing my age?). With the hint in hand, there were only a couple of places the cache could be, and it was soon found and signed. We had a bit of a wander around the building, admiring the way the trees and bush have grown in and around the walls. Very nice place - but how did you ever know it was here? Once again, geocaching takes us to places we'd never otherwise go, or even know about! TFTC

Wow what a site must have been a awesome quarters before all the trees took over and ruined the place maybe the historic trust could give it a lease of life again and chop those sycamore trees down too. I'm sure that place is steep in history. TFTC nice area that I am sure not too many people know about
