Geocache Description:

Co-ordinates listed above are for the parking, which is adjacent to an attractive lake with friendly ducks and geese. You might like to bring some bread to feed them but please do not feed white bread to the swans as it can cause vitamin deficiencies.Save some for the many ducks you will encounter along the river side as well.

The cache is situated at the end of a short but pleasant walk which visits the nearby memorial to 1st Lt. A.L.Brown, a USAAF pilot. In January 1944 this gallant airman made the supreme sacrifice, staying at the controls of his doomed Thunderbolt fighter so that it wouldn't crash on the town and its people.
Please be aware the final leg of the walk may be muddy and there is open water nearby.
