The cache is situated part way along Haw Cliff, a lane which can get very muddy, hence the nick name Clow Clap Alley. A nearby bench affords views of the village and across to Emley Moor Mast.
There is room for a car immediately adjacent to the cache, in the nearby village or slightly further along the lane.
Thurstonland is a small rural village in the Civil Parish of Kirkburton of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. It has a population of almost 400 people.
Thurstonland urban district was created in 1894 and merged with Farnley Tyas urban district in 1925. Both were abolished in 1938 under a County Review Order, with the majority of the district merging into the Kirkburton urban district and the remainder into the Holmfirth urban district.
It is situated on a hilltop above Brockholes and to the southeast of Farnley Tyas and north of Shepley and is located within the Postal district of Huddersfield (HD4).
It has a village pub, First school - (Thurstonland Endowed First School), church, a children's recreational area and a cricket club. Apart from the Pub on the southern edge of the village the other facilities are all located next to each other, at the northern edge of the village. Below the village, through the hill, lies the Thurstonland tunnel on the Penistone line railway, between Brockholes railway station and Stocksmoor railway station.
Within and around the village are a number of small dairy farms, that supply the surrounding area.
