Geocache Description:

Simple traditional cache as part of our Thames Path walk. The cache is slightly larger than a 35mm film container.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Thames Path follows England's best known river for 184 miles (294km) as it meanders from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and on to the City of London. On its way the Trail passes peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and many lovely villages, finishing at the Thames Barrier near Greenwich.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Water Eaton farmhouse is a modern house on an ancient site, known in the 18th century as Nun Eaton. This old manor house at Water Eaton was a "house of mercy" connected with the Abbey of Godstow near Oxford. There are remains of fish-ponds, carved stones and there once was an ancient weir.
