Geocache Description:

A walk along the New river.

Meets GAGB urban placement guidelines

Starting off a new series of Geocaches along the New River which will hopefully extend to some of the walk ways coming off the river and leading to the lake...

You are looking for a traditional Geocache which is of medium size ...carries a few small goodies a pen and a logbook.

London’s water supply had traditionally come from the River Thames, along with various natural wells in the city; but, by the 16th century, problems had arisen with this. The population in the capital had grown, and the Thames was both a major shipping route and a sewer, along with a source of water, and disease was rife. The proposal to bring clean water into the city by building a “new river” was discussed as early as 1570, but it wasn’t till 1604 that Edmund Colthurst obtained a charter to build the river and carried out a survey.

Please be careful of Muggles as this cache is not far from a main road. Please place cache exactly as found
