A short walk with views of Richmond Castle and The Culloden Tower.
Park on The Green (N54.24.072 W001.44.459) and walk right around the corner, across the bridge and take the path to the left.
UPDATE 20/03/09
Take the path to your right by the wall, enter the field and follow the hedge line until you come to a stile on your left. Cross this and you are very close to the cache.
Please make sure the cache is well hidden. Also please note the area is used as a football field and over the meet weekend which is held on the second bank holiday weekend in May and will be busy at these times.
A bit of history:
Richmond Castle was constructed in 1071 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. Only two stone built castles in England are equal in age to Richmond Castle. They are at Colchester and Durham. Today the castle is managed by English Heritage. For more information, please visit their website.
The Culloden Tower was built in 1746 by John Yorke, MP for Richmond, to mark the final establishment of Hanoverian rule. It stands in the park of his long-demolished house, at the edge of a steep slope above the River Swale, on the site of an old pele tower. It was probably designed by Daniel Garrett, architect of The Banqueting House. Today The Culloden Tower is managed by The Landmark Trust as a holiday home.
