This is a Traditional cache, which involves visiting 1 location to find the cache. The cache is located in Linton Gardens, St. Leonards, East Sussex
Linton Gardens are small gardens containing a variety of slopes, hills and paths.
These gardens were once subscription gardens but has since been given to the people of Hastings as a park. There is an active badger sett in the corner nearest the station.
These gardens are associated with May Day celebrations. During the 19th century there were at least 2 groups who organised processions in the season. Chimney sweeps - especially the boys, and milk-maids were the traditional participants - both low status occupations for whom an opportunity to make some extra money was very important. The processions usually included garlands of spring flowers and there was a competitive element to them.
By the end of the 19th century there were fewer chimneysweep boys and the Victorians objection to drunken revelry resulted in the end of the tradition.
The Cache is a small camouflaged container, it will take Geo coins and small TB's
Happy Hunting
