Magham Down and the Levels 8
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is part of a moderate 4-5 hour circular walk from Carters Corner, across the Levels, through Magham Down and back. There are 12 caches, (including Lurch’s Leap), which was my first cache, to be done on the circuit.
Please bring a pen or pencil, as some caches may not contain them.
All caches have been placed on public rights of way. Some stretches are on quiet country lanes, the “busiest road“, the A271, is crossed twice.
To vary the difficulty, caches range from nano - medium in size. Some have clues, others don’t. Use your caching intuition!
Some caches contain letters to a final bonus cache. But beware, the clue in the difficult nano cache is needed to find the bonus cache.
Please be aware that the Levels can be quite inhospitable in the winter and very wet. Livestock will be encountered, so keep dogs under control.
The Pevensey Levels are a Site of Special Scientific Interest and have important biodiversity associated with flood meadows. In the summer many species of insect and dragonflies can be found here, which attracts birds like Yellow Wagtails and Hobbies. Although very inhospitable in the winter months, the seemingly barren landscape is home to wintering wildfowl from eastern Europe, which again is food for Peregrines and Hen Harriers.
This patchwork of field and marsh is managed by grazing livestock at certain times of the year. Please keep dogs under control at all times.
