A BROAD VIEW CACHE Multi-Cache
lingering: The cache container has been removed as I have decided to close this cache
I find it rather frustrating to find the cache has been tampered with i.e. left in full view which I found when doing cache maintenance recently to say nothing about the cost of replacing items etc
Thanks to all for supporting the cache

Less than two miles from Norwich, Whitlingham Country Park GIVES access to a beautiful part of the Norfolk countryside
please keep Dogs on a lead at all times when you visit
The walk can take approx 1.5 hours as a circular walk approx 2.2miles on compacted surface suitable for wheelchairs/pushchairs –no stiles (please note access to the cache is not wheelchair friendly) The Great Broad is almost a mile in length, making it one of the largest broads in the area, with some 82 acres of water. It's the first broad (shallow lake) to have been created in the area for centuries.
The northern shore of the broad features a patch of broad land that represents a lot of the land use in this part of the world for the last few hundred years. If you take the path to the platform at the edge of the water, depending on the time of year you visit, you'll see a myriad of plant life including the yellow flag iris. Reed and sedge were hugely important to the Norfolk economy as a supply of materials for the thatching industry, but now it provides an important wildlife habitat for many of the iconic species of the area such as the swallowtail butterfly and bittern.
