This is a micro cache on the Haswell to Hart Walkway
Castle Eden is a lowly populated and spread out village. It was originally known as South Yoden which was a corruption of Yew Dene. There was coal mining here in the 1800s and also ropeworks and bleaching carried out in the village. The bleaching site is named on the map to the south-east of the houses.
In the 19th century Castle Eden acquired a railway and railway station, a police station and a magistrates' court. These were all closed in the 1960s and their buildings demolished. The village also had its own primary school which closed in the 1970s. Until the 1980s, the village still had a post office, which subsequently closed, leaving the local Inn, the golf club and the village hall as the only amenities
Until recent times the village was well known for its brewery. The brewery was sold and in 2003 redeveloped as houses. The only evidence that the brewery existed is the fine roadside Victorian façade which was retained.
What was the railway line is now part of the Haswell to Hart Walkway, this is where we have placed the magnetic nano. Good Luck.
