Geocache Description:

A traditional cache on a public cycle path, not a drive by cache.

In York and the surrounding areas there is a wonderful maze of footpaths, cycle paths and bridleways to delight the walker. This is a series of caches that are along the these public ways around York

The Ebor Way is a 70 mile (112 km) long-distance footpath fromHelmasley, North Yorkshire, to Ilkley. It takes its name from Eboracum the Roman name for York.
This walk connects the Cleveland Way and Dales Way running through the vale of York. The trail runs Tadcaster and Wetherby. It was first developed in the 1970s by the Ebor Acorn Rambling Club.

Millennium Way Walk -A 23 mile (37km) walk linking the Historic Open Strays of York.

Centenary Way - A route devised to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Yorkshire County Council. It runs across the Howardian Hills and Yorkshire Wolds via Castle Howard and Wharram Percy, linking York and the Foss Walk with the Wolds Way and Cleveland Way National Trails. Meeting the Derwent and Foss, it combines riverside walks in deep valleys with forest tracks.

The Jorvik Way which is a footpath running from York to Oxton.

Along the cycle route between York and New Earswick. Safer than cycling on the road through pleasant countryside.

PLEASE NOTE: If you use Google Map/satalite the cycle path does not appear on this format. It is on the latest OS maps.

The area around the cache can get boggy when it rains, although the cache is on dry land.

The cache was moved 19/09/09. Easiest way to locate is to go to the mid point between the two metal gates - enter field via path between the two Oak Trees and go left. See spoiler photo.
