Gilham's Heath Plantation is a favourite spot for
dog walkers, orientering groups and horse riders. Just south of
Felthorpe it is split into four areas by the main road. It is
mainly planted with coniferous trees however isolated patches of
more traditional woodland survive. Strangely there are a few
Redwood trees dotted around, perhaps travelers from the old railway
line which runs close by.
I have been walking these woods with my family for
a number of years. As I child we would come here to harvest
chestnuts to roast for Guy Fawke's Night.
This cache is located next to the bridleway so
there is no reason to deviate too far from the path. Please ensure
container is left upright and covered with twigs. Only a log is
contained so please bring your own pencil.
Mutiple parking spots are available along School
Lane and The Street but please be aware of fast moving traffic.
