Geocache Description:

Tadburn Meadows Local Nature Reserve, located in Halterworth, Romsey covers an area of approximately 5 hectares. Owned by Test Valley Borough Council since 1982/83 Tadburn Meadows was officially designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2002. Although largely serving as a public open space for informal recreation, wildlife conservation remains a priority.

This is a mystery cache the coordinates relate to a parking area. The actual cache, a small container, is hidden at the end of a puzzle trail. The GPS signal is a bit variable in the woods but the clues should direct you to final cache without much trouble.
