Geocache Description:

Scadbury Story Bonus

The moated manor site

You don't need to start at the given coordinates.

A bonus cache which can be found by completing Scadbury Story.

Scadbury Park has a history reaching back to the mid 13C, when it was known as Scathebury. Between 1424 and 1983 it’s been almost exclusively in the hands of four families - Walsingham, Bettenson, Townshend and Marsham-Townshend. On the Wherigo you will meet 12 of the owners and learn something of their history.

This Wherigo cache takes you on a walk around the park, following part of the Acorn Trail (see Related Web Page), a nature trail set up by London Borough of Bromley, the current owner of the park. You can start anywhere and move in either direction around the path, but for chronological order start at the Old Perry Street car park and walk anti-clockwise (like the Acorn trail). The character locations will become visible when you are within about 400m. When you enter a character's zone you will find some history of the character and often will receive one or more gold coins. In four cases you will have to answer a question to earn the coins. The Scadbury Story cache location will be released when you have 12 coins. To get the location of this bonus cache you have to visit all the locations and collect 15 gold coins (correctly answer at least 3 of the 4 questions).

The Scadbury Story Wherigo will take about an hour to complete and is roughly 2 miles. Please make sure you look around while doing the Wherigo – you are in a local nature reserve, so don’t spend all your time staring at the screen! If you have a smartphone please make sure the sound is turned on.

Roadside parking is available at several places around the park, I have added coordinates for the two off-road car parks. Note that these are closed at dusk. The whole walk is off-road but on unsurfaced footpaths at all times.

Find out more information about Wherigo caches here. Download the cartridge you need to play the Scadbury Story, which will also give the coordinates of this bonus cache. This cache was created with Earwigo.
