Geocache Description:

A nano geocache in a bigger housing, part of the Blickling Park Trail - a circular walk of about 2.5 miles visiting both family and more challenging geocaches.

BYOP.

Blickling is a National Trust property consisting of a grand hall and extensive parklands. The parklands date back to the 12th century as a deer park and the present hall to the early 17th century. Blickling Hall and its gardens are extremely attractive and well worth visiting.

Picture of Blickling Hall, a red-bricked Jacobean mansion with a seven bay front and corner turrets; a painted, timber-clad clock tower; gravel and lawn forecourt flanked by service wings and ancient yew hedges.

With the kind permission of the NT, this series of geocaches has been set in the parklands, with the route taking you round the lake and in front of the hall (arguably its most impressive view); part of the walk is on the Weavers Way.

All the car parks at Blickling are now pay and display but are free for NT members.

The trail paths are mostly well established but some can be muddy. There are often sheep and cattle grazing in the park - leaflets about walking with livestock are normally available at relevant places. Take care to avoid the electric fences throughout - you will have no need to cross an electric fence to get to a cache.
