Geocache Description:

Gresford #3 - Water is in a small bluebell wood next to a pretty little lake. A very quiet and peaceful spot.

I suggest you park along Vicarage Lane near N53 05.420 W2 58.469 and walk up Carthagena Lane and then follow the path across the fields.

Alternatively you can do this in a 2.5 mile circular walk with Gresford #2 – Earth, starting and finishing on Vicarage Lane, linking up the two paths with about ¾ mile walk along Borras Road which is a fairly quiet lane.

This cache is part of a short quest of 5 caches in and around the village of Gresford and Marford, which can all be done in less than a day. There are 4 stage 1 caches which contain parts of the co-ordinates to the fifth and final cache. #5 is a short 2-stage multi; with a micro showing the way to the final regular cache, a 1 litre rectangular black plastic container.

I hope you enjoy finding these caches; please hide them all carefully as you find them, and stick to the marked paths on farm land.

There has been a settlement in Gresford as long ago as Roman times and probably back to the bronze age before that. Nowadays there are 7 pubs and a good little selection of shops in the village centre. It has a fine medieval church, All Saints, whose bells have been named one of the seven Wonders of Wales since the 1700’s. If you want to find out more about the history of Gresford, I recommend the book, “Gresford Village and Church, and Royal Marford” (1995) ISBN 0 9519772 1 0, by Dr Colin Jones.
