Geocache Description:

Park here N 052 41 13.13, W 000 24 42.07 then follow the public footpath along avenue, over river, across field, into wood.

Hidden within the trees, held by the giant and a youth.

Easy walking terrain.

Following the public footpath - Start by walking along the stately avenue of London Plane trees. As the road curves to the right (which you follow) it is possible to see where the original road continued straight on (see as a raised hump up to the river). This old way looks to have led to a large farm estate. As you walk across the bridge, over the river keep a look out for kingfishers spotted here.
Continue along the path, along the edge of a parkland into the woodland, don't take the option to branch to the right - you're close.

In the cache to start with are some balloons, a glass heart necklace, a blue gogo, a musket ball, a roman coin found near Greatford village and a herb garden!

Be wary - this cache may be protected by a ghost!
