Rosie & Co: Sorry I've not had the opportunity to visit it and check it has actually gone but I think it has come to an end.
Walks & Views Galore-ious Revisited No3
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a simple off-set multi-cache, one of a series that replaces
the original Walks & Views Galore-ious Multi-cache that was
positioned close to here. It takes you to some beautiful Wiltshire
downland countryside with fantastic views and a lot of
history.
Car parking for this cache is best at N51° 12. 074 W002° 07.800.
There is room for several cars here but please don’t block
the tracks. Also being a relatively remote place please take the
usual security precautions.
The cache you are seeking is small, although slightly larger than
the typical micro-cache; it’s within a camouflaged bag and
contains the usual logbook plus some very small items.
You will walk close to the site of the Medieval Village of
Middleton. The route, which takes advantage of the Imber Range
Perimeter Path, the Wessex Ridgeway and Bridleways to the East of
Warminster provides opportunities if you wish to extend your walk.
You could visit more than one hill fort, Battlesbury Hill, Middle
Hill and Scratchbury Hill. For more information about this area and
the local hills, visit
this webpage.
There will be no need to depart significantly from paths and
tracks. These hills, all within a mile or so of the suggested
parking place, have some of the most stunning views and countryside
in the South of England and added to this there is a lot of history
here and some of the most unspoilt chalk downlands around with the
associated fauna and flora. This area in the summer has usually
orchids by the thousand along with little blue butterflies, what a
“glorious” sight! The area was also loved by Siegfried
Sassoon, the First World War Poet, who lived very close by at
Heytesbury House; he even wrote a poem about the area "On
Scratchbury Camp”
visit this webpage.
The complete walk is less than 1 mile and can be done in 40 minutes
or less. Please be warned it involves a short but steep climb
initially, so pushchairs and buggies are not advised. Depending on
when you visit boots may be essential as it can get very muddy and
slippery in places, please take great care.
At the above stated co-ordinates you will find a labelled item at
ground level: look for EN and the 3 numbers that follow are ABC
(i.e. EN ABC) The cache is to be found at:
N51° 1A.(C+C)5B W002° 07.C9(C+A)
Please make sure the cache is well hidden and secured when you
replace it.
Above all, enjoy your visit.
