This cache series is our first placed and hopefully will encourage others to enjoy the walk through the fields as we have with our children and dog for the last few years.

The route can be completed in around 1 and a half hours being approximately 4.5 miles in total. This is over mixed terrain from tarmac path to grass and at times alongside the creek which at times can be both muddy & wet and slippery under foot choose your tides well.

Please ensure you wear sturdy footwear.

This is Number Nine in the series and is no longer a tupperware box but a small bison, no 10 still has room for small items,

Please replace carefully and report any damage


During the walk you will take in views across Bowers Marsh currently being preserved as a wetlands project and Nature Reserve. There is a possibility that with the guidance and assistance of the custodians that there may be an extention or trail through the new reserve.

Please be patient and do not attempt to place ANY cache within the new reserve without permission.
Should you require further information on the reserve then a search on the intranet will reveal.
Dogs are permitted on the public footpath only but NOT within the reserve itself, so please respect this exclusion and ensure that any dog is kept under control and away from any livestock/wildlife. (there is potential for cattle grazing within the reserve though I have never seen any and also nesting birds etc.).
