Stealth required for muggles abound! The cache (1/2 L plastic box)is situated in Bitts Park, Carlisle on the triangular piece of land between the confluence of the Caldew and the Eden, near the metal bridge.
The cache is near 'Towards the Sea’ by Hideo Furuta which is one of the ten Eden Benchmark Sculptures which also function as seats. 'Towards the Sea’ describes a sequence of water-eroded stone running parallel with the flow of the river Eden. The artist was keen to use the local stone, which is the same stone from which Carlisle Castle is built. The ten Eden Benchmark Sculptures were commissioned by the East Cumbria Countryside Project to celebrate the new millennium. Each by a different artist, they’ve been installed at various locations beside public paths along the entire length of the river Eden. The artists’ brief was to produce sculptures that harmonised with the landscape and captured the essence of each locality. The first is Water Cut by Mary Bourne, located close to the source of the river at Mallerstang. The other nine are at Kirkby Stephen, Temple Sowerby, Appleby, Lazonby, Edenhall, Armathwaite, Wetheral, Bitts Park in Carlisle and Rockliffe.
