Cox Green Woodland Wander (revisited) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been disabled for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

The Cache is a short distance back from the banks of the River Wear just off the Wearside Walk. This cache replaces the original cache, which lost it's owner.

Cache is just over 1/2 mile from Cox Green Car Park. It's a blue-lid tupperware box containing the usual assortment of goodies.
Majority of route is riverside walk (but kissing gate won't allow bikes) with a short steep bank towards the end heading into woodland. Path network would allow you to also visit Penshaw Folly cache - circular trip of 3.5 miles.
Along the path look out for Alice's Well, which still produces spring water, and was the village's only source of drinking water until after World War 2.
2 Stone-lined tunnels going back into the hillside, which used to link Low Lambton Quarries to staithes on the river bank, from which the stone was transferred to keels and transported down river.
Victora Viaduct, so named because it was completed on the day of Queen Victoria's Coronation in 1838. Design is based on a Roman viaduct at Alacantra in Spain and by the mid-19th Century it carried the main London-Newcastle line providing the first rail link between Thames & Tyne.
