Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

You are looking for a magnetic micro camo taped Most of the caches are either micro or small and do not contain any pens; please ensure you bring your own. Don’t forget to take a look at Richard Cobden’s obelisk as you wander on up. Richard Cobden’s tireless work brought about the abolition of the Corns Law. Born just over the brow of the hill at Dunford, Cobden was one of the 1st men to be elected as a Manchester Alderman. Buried at West Lavington church.
A slight diversion will take you to the Royal Oak should you require refreshments. Farms is a series of 10 traditional caches set in an almost circular walk of approx. 2.5 miles around three farms, passing the three farm cottages where I once lived as a child. The three farms are: • Cocking Park Farm which used to be known for its piggery • Pitsham Farm • Hawkhurst Farm, known to me as “Alan Sinclair’s Farm” along Cocking Causeway The walk will take you through meadows, over wooden bridges, streams, past mighty oaks, lime trees & superb conker collecting trees, through fields of horses, under the old Midhurst & Chichester railway bridge, past Richard Cobden’s Obelisk, giving great views of the downs and its countryside. It should take approx 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. I have put “not pushchair accessible” as there are quite a few stiles, ground can be a little muddy & bumpy in places, however there is nothing stopping you from lifting buggies over!!! We set the cache with a four year old in tow and she enjoyed the walk. The walk trails along Bridle paths & Public footpaths, although there is some limited lane walking and a very busy main road to cross over twice. There are approx 8 stiles and a kissing gate on this loop. It can be muddy in places, especially in the marshy lowlands and during rainy times. Parking is available at N 50 57.766 W 000 44.782 (the start of the series) along Bex Lane, a short stroll back to main road will set you on your way.
