Geocache Description:


This is a replacement for Fleet Watch, our popular cache on Abbotsbury Castle, now archived due to SSSI & Ancient Monument issues. Fleet Watch 2 has been placed on National Trust land with kind permission of the NT Warden.

This is one of three caches - Hardy Wayside, Hardy Wayside 2 and Fleet Watch 2 - along a linear walk on Limekiln Hill and Tulk's Hill. You can nicely combine them with GC155RE LQ: Dorset - Chesil View by Weary Banker & Bookworm. On a clear day there are magnificent panoramic views southwards, taking in a vast sweep of coastline from Portland Bill (Dorset) to Start Point (S Devon).

Fleet Watch 2 is hidden at a World War 2 lookout - you can see why it was sited here! You'll find some interesting information about it here (visit link)
You do NOT need to go inside the structure!

Recommended parking is the layby at N 50 40.991, W 002 39.315.
