Haydons Parks - Cannon Hill Common 2 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired/replaced 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]

Geocache Description:

The Wombles are obviously from Wimbledon Common but I thought I would show people other parks Merton has to be proud of, starting with the lesser known Common, Cannon Hill Common.

Placed with kind permission of the friends of Cannon Hill common.

Cannon Hill Common is located between the town centres Raynes Park and Morden in the ward of Cannon Hill in the south western corner of Merton. The Common is accessible from Parkway, Heath Drive and Cannon Hill Lane. The Common can be accessed on foot from Whatley Avenue, Cannon Hill Lane, Southway, Parkway and Heath Drive. Walkers can also get onto the Common via walkways from King George’s Playing Fields, Joseph Hood Recreation Ground, across the meadow from Parkway and along the grassed area adjacent to the roads. Cannon Hill Common covers 21 hectares of open space. It boasts mature woodland, which is over 140 years old and is home to a variety of plants and animals. Cannon Hill Common is a great place for walking, recreational fishing and angling, dog walking, bird watching and simply getting away from urban life and enjoying a small piece of countryside in the city. Find out more about Cannon Hill Common's history.

The best place to park is the Street parking on Cannon Hill Lane.

on Sunday 23rd October 2011 is an open day held by the friends of Cannon Hill Common free for all to attend.

Look out for the elusive Kingfisher near this cache if you are quiet enough. Please ensure children are watched by this cache.

Please ensure you replace the cache the same way you retrieved it, be careful of muggles especially on nice sunny days.
