This cache is positioned close to the bridge linking the village of Harbledown to Jubilee Field, on the outskirts of Canterbury.
The cache is accessible by foot and on-street parking can be found locally within 150 metres of the cache.
Please note that the cache is only accessible on foot from Harbledown or the roads surrounding Jubilee Field, NOT from the main road (A2050) over which the bridge passes.
You are looking for a ‘hide a key’ container, located on a public bridleway close to St Michael’s Church and Jubilee Field.
It’s a micro only containing a logbook, so you’ll need to bring a pen!
Please be respectful of the location, and replace the cache carefully in its original position.
This area was once covered by the dense forest of Blean and after the end of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago the forest would have been cleared gradually and the first trackways established, following the streams down to the river Stour.
Everywhere in Harbledown there are fascinating reminders of the past. One of the greatest treasures is the Norman Leper Church of St Nicholas, which was founded by Archbishop Lanfranc. Henry II gave an annual grant of twenty marks to the Lepers of Harbledown as part of his reparation for the murder of Thomas a Becket in 1170.
The street through Harbledown was the main road from London to Dover, and along it came kings, archbishops and pilgrims to the great shrine of St Thomas at Canterbury. Growing 20th century traffic congestion in the village was eased by the 1976 bypass road, restoring tranquility to this ancient settlement.
