A cache in Marchup Ghyll, a lovely hidden spot in Upper Addingham
Anoraknophobia - a fear of anoraks...
A cache hidden in this lovely little known location - catch it in the evening with the sun dappling through the trees. Once found, be sure to take a look at the nearby new nature reserve - early days but should look good once it matures.
"The 1.5 acre Marchup Ghyll Nature Reserve was created on the site of a former Victorian rubbish tip - an area once littered with ash, broken crockery and glass. The project started in 2001 when a keen bottle collector was given permission to rake over the site with a mechanical digger. The land was restored after Bradford Environmental Action Trust applied to the Onyx Environmental Trust for funding to reclaim the land and create a local nature reserve.
The resulting £7,315 grant was used to seal the debris with 2,400 tones of clay and sub-soil. This was then graded to the same contour as the existing ground, and a path was constructed to join an existing pathway. enabling visitors to walk around the site.
Many volunteers from the village, including members of Addingham Garden Friends, have been hard at work to create an area which could be enjoyed by visitors and residents - while also providing a haven for wildlife. Grass and flower seeds were sown in spring in 2006, and more than 1,000 trees were planted there by the Forest of Bradford project in November, with help from villagers and schoolchildren. The finishing touches have included nesting boxes and wildlife havens"
