I resided here for three years back in the 1980's and is perhaps
one of my favorite Lancashire villages.
It lies just one kilometre from the M6 motorway. Its centre is
an open and unique village green which includes both a cross roads
and slip roads in the form of a diamond shape. In early Spring the
Green is ablaze with daffodils planted by the pupils of the local
Primary School.
The village boasts a pub (The Eagles Head), a village store and
Post Office,the Parish Church of St Cuthbert's, a recently
refurbished Village Hall, a C. of E. Endowed Primary School, and a
War Memorial, all of which have been featured in the 'Best Kept
Village of Lancashire' Competition which was first won in 1999 and
again in 2004.
When you locate the cache then please use stealth tactics to
remove it from its location and, in turn, hiding it again. Finally,
ensure it is hidden and placed in exactly the same location that it
was found.
There are two additional hints that relate to the cache name
itself. As always with geocaching, remember to think outside the
box.
Happy hunting and I hope you enjoy your visit to this pretty
little village.
