You are looking for a small square tub covered in camo taped.
Good views of the Downs ahead. To your right is the Cocking Causeway – The greyhound, two yellow cottages (the one nearest to Midhurst is where we lived)
Most of the caches are either micro or small and do not contain any pens; please ensure you bring your own.
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.
