Geocache Description:

This cache is a nano- you will need to bring your own pen.

This cache is set with permission of the National Trust, as it is on their land.

Parking for the National Trust is at The National Trust Reserve, Victoria Road, Freshfield. There is a parking charge . It is also possible to park outside St Lukes Church Formby or considerately on roads approaching the Reserve in Freshfield. If you are local and able to walk to the caches all the better!

The cache is situated on National Trust Land near to the man made lake

The man-made lake is a picturesque haven for birds, fish and amphibians among the reeds and shaded by the surrounding trees.

The lake is divided into two sections by a small bridge, providing an ideal viewpoint to watch the many birds which congregate there.

From Mallards to Moor Hens and even the occasional Swan, the lake is a safe haven for birds all year round and you can even spot small frogs and frogspawn in the water and on the banks, depending on what time of year you decide to visit.

At the top of the hill by the lake are Wicks Woods, bordering onto the Ravenmeols Nature Reserve and the Lifeboat Road area.

Like the rest of the pinewoods, this area consists of mainly Scotch and Corsican Pine, many up to 100 years old dating from when the woods were first planted.
