Geocache Description:

I am grateful to Butttercup for starting this series and allowing me to add to it. These caches are intended to take visitors to places of interest that are not normally seen unless you are looking for them.

This is an 18th Century stone built dovecote situated in the bustling metropolis of Moseley, Birmingham. It is situated on the main A435 route into the city centre and is often missed by driving. It can be seen easily by bus and of course walking. At the moment it is in a state of repair and the Dovecote has been placed in the care of the Moseley Society. They take charge of it and supervise visits by the public.

You are looking for a small magnetic container. Please bring your own writing stick. Stealth is required at all times as the cache, whilst easily accesible on a pavement, is next to a busy bus stop. This is not placed as a cache and dash, parking is restricted at all times of the day. Best done on foot or public transport.

Here are a couple of websites that tell more about this feature:
