Welcome to Grantleigh Manor, ancestral home of Audrey
fforbes-Hamilton and more recently Richard DeVere - at least
according to the BBC between 1979 and 1981
Sited adjacent to a new permissive footpath on the Cricket St
Thomas Estate, you are searching for a large ammo box - big enough
for a hard backed logbook + decent swaps and a CACHE CAMERA.
In partnership with DEFRA, the Estate has created a network of
walking routes and bridleways. Explore the historic Cricket St
Thomas parkland whilst taking in excellent views across the
surrounding rolling countryside on 10km of permissive
footpaths/bridleways. The new routes link into a number of existing
public rights of way or from the car park provided.
There are listed buildings, a section of the Roman Fosse Way,
veteran trees (designated County Wildlife Sites), listed historic
parkland landscapes, woodland and rivers to be seen along the way.
Much of the estate is managed under the Countryside Stewardship
Scheme with extensive grazing of pasture with no fertiliser inputs
to help encourage biodiversity. Also under the Scheme arable land
has been reverted back to grassland and trees replanted to restore
the historical parkland landscape.
You can find details of the complete network and map
here
Please observe the speed limit for the Estate and park sensibly -
enter through the main entrance to approach this cache, which is on
the way out.
