What's Wrong With Bromsgrove?
Do a google map search for caches and it a veritable blank page...and yet Bromsgrove and the surrounding area has some of the prettiest countryside, most interesting buildings and coolest history going for it.

I hope this will become a series of caches taking you to a few of the best bits in Bromsgrove and it's surrounds. Here's the second of a few I have planned.

This is a double-whammy as the cache is in Aston Fields but just next to the border with Finstall. This churchyard is sesitively managed as a nature area so only parts of the church yard get mown to allow access to war graves. Gricers and Bashers will note the close proximity to the Lickey Incline which has a sharp climb of 1 in 37 foot.

The nearby Station was the site of the first discussions which led to the formation of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and the nearby sidings were once the site of the Engine Works which became a large employer, many preferring it to making nails.

Please leave the cache well hidden upon departure.
