This traditional cache, part of the Cerney Wick Series takes you on a short walk from Cerney Wick amongst the many lakes which populate this area.
The Cotswold Water Park is made up of over 130 lakes that have been created by gravel extraction. Thousands of years ago an ice sheet that covered the Midlands began to melt, turning into rivers. These rivers and streams took with them sand and gravel, depositing them up to 20 feet thick in places.These sand and gravel deposits lay relatively undisturbed until people began to excavate these resources in the early 1920s. As a result the area was left scarred with huge hollows and pits. Water began to naturally fill these pits, turning them into freshwater lakes, and the area now known as the Cotswold Water Park was born.
Suggested parking is at N51° 39.753 W001° 53.352 which is The Crown public House in Cerney Wick.
The path is flat but can get muddy, so would recommend walking boots. There are also some stiles and kissing gates to overcome.
