Pleasley is a small village in between the nearby towns of Chesterfield and Mansfield on the Derbyshire Nottinghamshire border. The River Meden which forms the county boundary in this area runs through the village.

It was a mining village until Pleasley Colliery closed in 1983. Hi-tec businesses have since moved into a business park in nearby Pleasley Vale. The mine was partly demolished but during the demolition it was realized that the pit winding engines were the only pair of such engines left. The former mine is now a museum. The spoil heaps have been turned into a large nature reserve, complete with large ponds, cycle and walking tracks. Pleasley, as whole, covers two counties, a coal mine and an old cotton mill.

The cache is not far from St. Michaels Church which is believed to originate from the 12th century but was greatly restored in the 19th century. It is situated close to the River Meden which marks the county boundary and also the boundary of the ancient Sherwood Forest.
