Geocache Description:

A magnetic nano container. This is a farm track, not suitable for cars, so not recommended as a drive by. This cache is part of a 5 mile circular walk around the village of Quernmore. Please note the terrain rating, some areas are particularly steep, but with that comes wonderful views!

Hare Appletree Farmhouse is actually a Grade II listed building. Interestingly, Jubilee Tower was largely the work of a Mr Harrison, a resident of Quernmore, and an inscribed tablet informs us that: James Harrison of Hare Appletree in commemoration of the Jubilee of Queen Victoria, erected Jubilee Tower in 1887! Harrison, who had made his fortune as a Liverpool shipbuilder, employed a local mason named Gifford to do most of the work on the tower. If you are heading to/from the Quernmore - Millstones cache, the public footpath route is not clearly signposted. Follow the track through the farm buildings. See below:
