This cache is a small tuperware, lock tight, box. It contains a log
book and pencil, and has room for small swapables.
There is parking for one vehicle, off road, in front of a large
wooden gate and stile leading to a public footpath. The parking
spot is next to a country lane, so obvious care must be taken with
traffic.
This cache has been placed alongside a public footpath, and
affords beautiful views of the pictuesque National Trust Property,
Hanbury Hall. Built in 1701, for the wealthy lawyer Thomas Vernon,
Hanbury Hall is a stunning example of William and Mary
Architecture. The house and grounds are open to the public,
although entry is not required to search for this cache. The Hall
is surrounded by 20 acres of restored and recreated ornate gardens
set within 395 acres of parkland and deerpark and includes an
Orangery and an 18th century Icehouse. It is one of our favourite
local escapes, and they do rather nice teas!
At the time of placing this cache (September) the ground was
firm but it can get a bit soggy. And since it is close to water,
care must be taken with small children.
Wellies might be useful in the winter! Well done Richard Hull on
being the FTF!
