Geocache Description:

10 Minuit walk across fields

Small Cache. Parking is available at N51 31.751 W 002 21.534.
The cache offers great views over Chipping Sodbury and the area.

Chipping Sodbury is a market town in South Gloucestershire, south west England , founded in the 12th century by William Crassus . The small villages of Old Sodbury and Little Sodbury are nearby. At the 2001 census the population of Chipping Sodbury was 5,066, but in the last two or three decades the town has become part of a much larger built-up area due to the rapid expansion of nearby Yate. At the census the combined population of Yate and Chipping Sodbury was 26,855.

In the 18th century Edward Jenner started his medical training in Sodbury, observing people catching cowpox, and then not catching smallpox.

Chipping Sodbury supposedly has the widest street of any town in England , though Stockton-on-Tees is another strong contender for that distinction. Chipping Sodbury does have the widest working high street in Europe .

The name Chipping Sodbury is considered humorous by those unfamiliar with it. Locals often call it "Sodding Chipbury". The name is believed to have inspired " Effing Sodbury ", a place name associated with the satirical pseudo-newspaper The Framley Examiner.
