Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the series Exploring Epworth. The series includes four traditional caches, and a final puzzle cache where the clues are found as you complete the circular walk around Epworth. The walk is about 3 miles long, and takes approximately an hour and a half. The paths may be muddy in wet weather and require strong footwear.
The order in which to do the caches is as follows:
Exploring Epworth Low Burnham View,
Exploring Epworth Dead On,
Exploring Epworth Windy Beacon,
Exploring Epworth Pinewood Studios,
Exploring Epworth Stairway To Heaven.
In Epworth there are several little teashops, pubs that serve good meals, and the Lemon Tree cafe at the Garden Centre.

Before you leave the village road gather information from Torne Valley Stores for the Stairway To Heaven cache. See the waypoint.

This is one of the traditional beacons that has been lit to herald special occasions, and is one of the chain of beacons that stretch the length of the country. The next in the chain is at Gringley on the Hill 8 miles away. This ridge is always windy as you can see from the two windmills nearby.

Due to suspected Muggle interference please do NOT put trackables into this cache.
