Geocache Description:

One of a short series of woodland walks. This one can be linked with "Brownrig Wood" to give a circular walk.

Garleton Walk follows the southern edge of Brownrig Wood. The area was originally planted by the 6th Earl of Haddington and the plan included three parallel walks running east from the sea to the edge of Binning Wood. This is the most northerly of the walks, the others are Limetree Walk (now a road) and the Avenue (which has its own cache).

Garleton Walk is now a little muddy and overgrown but it is well worth exploring. The south side of Brownrig Wood (otherwise mostly commercial timber) has a fine variety of trees. Some of them are probably old enough to have been part of the original planting and there is new planting of varied broadleaf trees to carry on the tradition. It is also a good place to spot wildlife. There were deer and buzzards about when I placed the cache and what may have been a stoat, although it was too fast for me to get a good look at it.

The cache is concealed at the west end of the Walk. If you are also doing the Brownrig Wood cache, I suggest you do that first and then rejoin the main track until it reaches a T junction. Then head south, find the cache and take Garleton Walk back to your start point.

Parking, as for all the caches in this area is at the end of Limetree Walk.
