Geocache Description:

***This series follows the route of 'Watling Street', a road built by the Romans which went from Dover on the southeast coast of England to Wroxeter in Shropshire via London and will pass historical points of interest en-route***

The cache is a magnetic micro (35mm film container).

Oxlea Woods can be seen to the South of the cache. A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), the ancient Oxleas woods cover 77 hectares and are at least 8,000 years old. Take a walk through the woods of oak, silver birch, hornbeam and coppice hazel.

The park ranger service conducts walks in Oxleas Woods every Thursday and every second Sunday of the month at 10am. Meet by the cafe on the meadow off Shooters Hill.

It covers most of the top of Shooters Hill (in the London Borough of Greenwich), and contains a folly called Severndroog Castle.

There is an underground water reservoir in the grassed area called Oxleas Meadow. This serves the local area with water. This is associated with 'the hut' which is a building containing the equipment that Thames Water uses to control the reservoir.

There have been plans to build roads through Oxleas leading to a Thames Gateway Bridge over the River Thames as part of the Thames Gateway redevelopment plans. These plans were abandoned in 1993 after strong local protests. The proposals for the Thames Gateway bridge have recently been revived and there is concern that, if built, this would lead to pressure to link it to the A2, crossing Oxleas.
