The cache is located in Woolhampton Village which has Saxon connections and is mentioned in the Domesday book. The cache is just off the A4 to the west of the village and it is situated in an area of green open space near to the new village hall built in 2005/6. Nearby is Douai Abbey & Monastery. Douai school, closed in 1999, was founded in 1833 as St Mary's College. The church of St Mary's dates from 1848. The foundation stone of the Abbey church was laid in 1928 and the modern extension, so suitable for concerts, was completed in 1993. Close by the cache there is a small playpark for the children and there is a car park adjacent(off the A4).Watch the height restriction barrier-1.83m I think-please check!!!!
