Peffer Bank Wood lies along a burn which is bridged by the
disused railway branch line that served Aberlady, Luffness,
Salcoats and Gullane. To the east of the line, north of the burn
and south of Saltcoats Castle, RCAHMS aerial photography has shown
parts of rig and furrow field systems and partial field boundaries
as cropmarks. These could date from any period between the Bronze
and Middle Ages (and quite a few field systems lasted pretty much
unchanged during these millenia).
You can approach the cache from the north by following the path
out of Gullane by Saltcoats or from the south starting near the
bridge over the line of the old railway. Whichever start point you
choose, you can link to a number of nearby caches en route.
If coming from the south, park at N56 01.021 W002 49.694
(room for a car to get off the narrow road). If coming from the
north park in Gullane as near N56 02.054 W002 49.948 as
traffic allows.
The wood is well-used for fun activities (try some of the
mountain bike jumps or the al fresco bridge over the burn!) so the
cache is well covered in its hidey hole. Please cover it up again
after a find.
