The revitalised Altnew series now comprises 8 caches placed on a circular walk, which starts in Altofts, touches on the edge of the historic Newlands estate and offers glimpses of Normanton, Wakefield and even Emley Moor mast on a clear day. Numbers 3-6 are the original, with the other 4 being new caches. Street parking is available near Altnew 1 but please be considerate.
The whole walk should take between 60 to 75 minutes and is virtually all a mixture of clearly defined field paths and old roads. These can become very muddy in wet conditions and walking boots are recommended. Unfortunately, it is not really suitable for pushchairs.
March 2021 This cache, Altnew 4, has been relocated from a hole in the wall (which gave it its name) and is now a micro sized container deeper in the woods. From Altnew 3 , stay in the wood and don't be tempted to follow the arrow through the brambles when you get within 50ft but carry on and you will find a path with a slightly easier access back to it.
