Geocache Description:

This is our first attemp at a cache.
It is placed in a public open space popular with muggles. The cache is at the top of a hill very near Bentley Cairn.

The cache is a heavly camoflauged lock lid box. It contains a log book and pencil.

There are also several items put in by my daughter for swapping.

Bentley cairn stone holds the clues to a rich historical past. The stone marks the site of three former manor houses, two of which were known as Bentley Hall.
The second of these played its part in one of the most significant and dramatic events in British history.
On the night of September 10th 1651, King Charles II took shelter at the hall. Charles’s defeated at the Battle of Worcester is fleeing for his life from Oliver Cromwell's victorious troops.

The King was helped by the then owner Colonel John Lane and his sister Jane Lane. The next day she took Charles, disguised as her servant, to Bristol to escape to france.

The last hall was demolisted inthe early 1900's due to sucidance caused by mining in the local area
