Arpley Meadows forms a green oasis between the industrial Bank Quay area to the north and east and the landfill site and sewage works to the west. The area is a beautiful stretch of meadow and grazing land on the old Mersey flood plain and is also full of wildlife.
The cache container is a 1 litre snap lock container with some swaps and space for a small or medium sized travel bug. The path should be accessible by wheelchairs (although there is a steep slope on the approach from the east), however the final few yards to the cache site are not suitable for wheelchairs.
Getting There
By car: Coordinates are given below for a lay-by on Eastford Road, a short walk from the cache. The road becomes private beyond the lay-by, so please do not park or drive beyond this point.
By public transport: The cache is not served by a bus route, but is a 30 minute walk from the bus and train stations. Walk down Slutchers Lane (N 53° 23.140 W 002° 36.031) from the town centre and join the footpath on the right hand side half way down the road, then cross the Mersey at the footbridge (N 53° 22.480 W 002° 36.267) that goes along the railway bridge.
