Geocache Description:

Easy walk from Presthope NT carpark for good views of the Stretton hills.

A very short walk from Presthope National Trust carpark on gravel paths.
There is no need to scramble through the undergrowth, this cache is right next to the path, I placed this cache like the others on the edge to be found.
Wenlock Edge is a world famous wooded limestone escarpment that stretches for around 15 miles from the Ironbridge gorge to Craven arms. An Area of outstanding natural beauty, eight miles of the Edge are in the care of the National Trust. From the vantage point here you can get good views westwards to Caer Caradoc and the Long Mynd, and Northwestwards to the unmistakeable Wrekin.

I would like to thank the National Trusts Shropshire Hills management team for allowing this cache to be placed.

Inside the cache the original contents are
Wooden cutlery set
A Walsall leather museum eraser
Three small screwdrivers
Fish bracelet, leather bracelet
Smiley face badge
Game keyring
Plastic insect

1st to find Cannonedwards
