The Box Ings path runs up the side of a house driveway.
During the English civil war, roundheads were based at nearby
Shepley and apparently they came to the vicarage at Kirkburton to
arrest the vicar who unlike most of his parishioners was a
royalist, but for some reason his wife was shot dead and was later
burried in the churchyard.
According to many they came down Box Ings, and there footsteps
can still be heard at night!

The walk up the path will take you about twenty minuites and you
will need your wellies or hiking boots in wet weather, but you can
walk in the woods to avoid the worst,----the path continues past
the cache if you wish to continue.---- the cache is behind a tree
and contains a log and pencil but please bring a pen or pencil.
Please cover the cache afterwards.
All the best.
