Geocache Description:

This is thomas our 3 year old sons first cache. Its a good walk around Holly hayes Wood.

Most of the paths are in good condition but they are not pushchair friendly.

The cache is a 15 minute walk from any of the roads nearby and just of a well defined path, it can get quite muddy when it rains.

Please rehide the cache well x.

The first reference to Holly Hayes Wood can be found on a list of the medieval woods of Charnwood Forest. The earliest recorded record for the wood is believed to be 1240AD.

Hawley Hays was mentioned in a list of various woods and hills in Whitwick in 1609, although it is thought to have been enclosed from forest wastes about two hundred years earlier.

hays: an enclosure, hedge or fence

Holly Hayes is an ancient enclosed area of the Old Charnwood Forest and was enclosed before the Enclosure Act of Whitwick 1805.

As far as we are aware, no land leases survive for Whitwick for the whole period before 1803, when the wood is shown as an Ancient Enclosure on the map and was attached to the award for enclosing Commons and Open Fields in Whitwick, Thringstone and Peggs Green
