National Trust South Beds: Beech Woods Chalk Hills
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is one of five at National Trust sites around South Bedfordshire (A further 10 caches are located at Dunstable and Whipsnade Downs). It is situated on the edge of Sundon Hills Country Park and Moleskin and Markham Hills.
Much of Sundon Hills is a Site of Special Scientific Interest that encompasses chalk grassland, woodland and derelict quarry areas.
There is a car park and picnic area on the road between Upper Sundon and Harlington.
The National Trust acquired Moleskin and Markham Hills in February 2001. It forms the link between Sundon Hills and Sharpenhoe Clappers. The steep slopes are Scheduled SSSI and include Chalk grassland with scrub and beech woodland.
The Icknield Way path passes through this area on its route along the chalk ‘spine’ of England.
In addition to swag and a logbook, each of our countryside caches (Tree Cathedral; Motte and Bailey; Beech Woods and Chalk Hills; Picnic Glade; Hazel Coppice and Hill Fort) contains an ink stamp. Bring a piece of paper with at least three stamps on it to the Chilterns Gateway Centre (N51’51.906, W000’32.261,) to exchange for a ‘geocaching genius’ certificate.
