Rupert and Friends – Podgy Pig
This is the fourth in a series of caches named after the famous Rupert Bear characters. All of the caches can be found in Allesley Park, Coventry.
History of the park
The park was originally a deer park in the 13 century when it was first enclosed around the remains of a Norman 'Motte and Bailey' castle. The park which formed the grounds of Allesley Hall (now a residential home) enjoys a wealth of mature trees and shrubs and contains a walled garden, which is maintained as a Georgian kitchen garden by a local voluntary group. The walled garden is currently being restored to the days when it supplied fruit and vegetables for the hall's owners and servants. Walled garden volunteers organise educational events and activities in the garden to celebrate its history.
There is an active Friends Group.
The cache is in a small lock lid container which is disguised in a camo bag.
Please be aware that the cache is in an area used very frequently by muggles especially of the dog walking variety, therefore stealth is required when retrieving and replacing the cache.
