One of 3 caches in Credenhill Park Woods.
Credenhill Park Wood is a local landmark with historical and environmental importance, having been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Special Wildlife Site.
The tranquil paths amongst the trees give the visitor views of small leaved limes, early purple orchids, fragrant wild garlic and bluebells. The Woodland Trust aims to remove the more recently planted conifers to allow native woodland species (plants and animals) to regenerate and re-establish along the whole of the site. The site includes 13 hectares of ancient semi-natural wood.
Part of the Ancient Monument is grazed to keep the grass down. Please make sure you close the gates to keep the animals in. When we placed the caches there weren't any livestock up here due to the recent snows, so let us know in your logs what you find up here! This cache is outside the fence to stop it getting chewed!
The Iron Age hill fort that forms an integral part of the site is one of the largest hill forts in England, and is thought to have been an Iron Age tribal capital. Sections of the fort have been cleared of trees (to help preserve the archaeological features) revealing the size of the fort and the significant ramparts. The walk to the fort gives the visitor the chance to explore the nature found in the woods along the way, and at the top, the fort’s views across to Wales take the imagination back to a time gone by.
