Explorer Tower Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

The cache was originally placed here for the 39th Parkwood Cubs to find while camping at the nearby Whitley Beaumont Scout Camp. Cache will now be left in place for everyone to enjoy.
Whitley Beaumont Campsite retains the name of the local estate of the Beaumont family, who owned the estate and resided in the area for some 400 years.
The hall was demolished in the early 1950's and the area surrounding the site was extensively open-cast mined.
The one remnant of Whitley Beaumont Hall is the summer house, the Temple, overlooking Mirfield to the North East. The Temple can be reached by footpath from the campsite. Local legend says that Black Dick can be seen walking by the temple with his head under his arm. The temple has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair, the ground floor being allowed to fall into the basement.
The cache is 39 paces of a Parkwood Cub Scout away from the Tower.
