In the shadow of the sundial Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired it I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

Cache is accessible to pushchairs and cyclists and on the popular wagonways many people also walk their dogs around this area. Wheelchair users can get to the location of cache but would need help to reach it.

The cache is a small tupperware box and has been placed at the bottom of a walk up to the sundial on the Silverlink country park.

As part of a new development scheme in 1996, a new country park was created on the site of a former rubbish tip. This 'Biodiversity Park' together with the pond at West Allotment was declared a Local Nature Reserve in 2005.

The reserve holds significant biodiversity value, with woodland, scrub and hedgerow, grassland and tall herb, wetland and exposed rock habitats. In particular, the site is of note for its amphibian and invertebrate population. The ponds and ditches are teeming with invertebrates such as pond skaters, blue-tailed damselfly and whirligig beetles.

Roe deer, fox, brown hare and rabbit can all be discovered in the park's grassland, whilst kestrels are regularly seen hovering overhead. The grassland is also home to many species of butterfly such as meadow brown, common blue and small white.

A giant sundial sits on top of the central hill, and for this reason the site is sometimes referred to as the 'Sundial Park'.

Free parking is available on site
