Geocache Description:

Limeworks, Merstham

This is one of 50 caches which form a circular walk around Alderstead and other settlements surrounding the village of Merstham.

In the early years of Merstham FC, matches were played on a pitch situated at the old Merstham Lime Works known as Limeworks Meadow which was accessed via Jolliffe Road, Lime Works Road or Quarry Dean Lane. At first changing facilities were non-existent and the players had to make do with the hedgerows to shield their modesty. After some time, accommodation was made available at the Jolliffe Arms (now the Vojan Indian Restaurant). By 1897 the club were founder members of the Redhill & District League. It was not until the early 1920s that the club moved to its present location in Albury Road, Merstham.

MM’s Alderstead Amble is a circular walk of about 11 miles, along which there are a number of traditional caches varying in size from micro to regular (no pencils). You will pass a variety of other caches on the way from simple traditional to puzzles to 5x5 extreme caches.

Parking is available in Rockshaw Road, Merstham or at a number of other locations on the route.

Attributes shown are for the whole series.

Happy Caching!
