Accessible by foot, take a walk down the road to admire the big houses of Hook Heath. This cache is near the De Vere venue Gorse Hill in case you happen to be going there.
Hook Heath is one, if not the, ‘high-class’ residential district of Woking. The main period of development in the early years was from about 1895 until the start of the First World War. During this period large houses such as St Catherine's off Hook Heath Avenue, Hook Heath House in Hook Heath Road and Comeragh Court in Pond Road were built. Others included ‘The Links’, also in Pond Road, with ‘Stoney Fore’, ‘High Housen’ and ‘Little Widbury’ in Hook Heath Road. Each had their own distinct style, paying homage to the Arts and Crafts movements and in particular the ‘Surrey Style’ of Edwin Lutyens.
Nowadays many of the older properties have been divided or demolished to make way for ‘small’ estates of large houses. However with the Fishers Hill and Hook Heath Conservation Area’s, Hook Heath looks to remain one of the most sought after areas.
Accessing the cache should be an easy along the road here, but there are no pavements here so watch out. Parking is available at the top of the hill next to the woods, where there are public footpaths over the golf course and in the opposite direction down Fishers Hill. If you know your way around you're sure to pass this way on your walk.
Small cache with room for a gift. A few gifts collecting up here, so do come prepared.
