A cache located between the tower and the obelisk in the Abbey Manor park land.One stile has to be negotiated for this one.
The Battle of Evesham in 1265 was fought over the parkland which now belongs to Abbey Manor. Simon de Montfort, The Earl of Leicester was killed in the battle in 1265 and in 1842 the Rudge family built the Leicester Tower in his memory and can be seen from the house. In 1845 they erected the Obelisk to commemorate the battle. There is adequate parking for this one at the bottom of the no through road off Twyford Bank at the top of Greenhill.As i said above,one stile needs to be negotiated for this one but the terrain is fairly even and accessible.Please note this cache is not available once darkness falls and dogs are not allowed in the parkland. This cache can be done in conjunction with the 'Evesham View' cache which is a fairly short walk from this one. Congratulations to tarmacjohn ftf.
