A small click and lock container hidden in the middle of Copthorne Park. Contains logbook and pencil, some small swaps and a travel bug. The name Dobson's Bridge comes from a well known Morris dance performed by the Shrewsbury Morris Dancers who own this cache.
Copthorne Park Countryside Heritage Site is situated on the NW side of Shrewsbury town near Copthorne Barracks. It is a small area of meadow and wetland, surrounded by housing. It was formed towards the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. When the ice sheet retreated it left huge blocks of ice that melted and left depressions filled with peat and water. These are known as "kettle holes" and Copthorne Park is one of a series of these in Shrewsbury. Prior to the housing development in the 1950s the park was part of farmland. The site supports a variety of habitats including open grassland, wet woodland, ponds and rotation coppice. There are records of water vole on the site and the meadows are amongst the most diverse in the area, supporting a large area of hay rattle.
