Geocache Description:

Short stroll next to a stream, starting near Preston Golf Club

One or two options to get to this but suggested starting point is near the entrance to Preston Golf Club. (N53 46.992 W002 41.192) No need to go onto golf club land, look for the path that starts just to the west. Easy access by bike.

Fulwood, referred to as Fulewde in 1199, was located at a major crossroad in Roman Times on the intersection between the Kirkham to Ribchester (Watling St Road) and the Walton-le-Dale to Lancaster roads. During this time Fulwood like most of the North West was covered in forest. The forest later became part of the estate of Roger de Poitou. In 1199 a Royal Charter granted the burgesses of Preston the right to fell the timber and settle the land and did so to such an extent that by the 17th century little woodland was left. 138 acres of Land was retained by the Crown later to be developed as Fulwood Barracks.
