Holton Lee#9- Yet Another Oak Traditional Cache
rosyapple: Due to change of use of the fields, now grazing cows with calves, I have decided to archive this and one other. I would hate for anyone to get hurt by a cow protecting her young one.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a completely accessible series of caches around part of the beautiful Holton Lee Estate, placed with their kind permission. The facilities at Holton Lee have been designed and built to ensure accessibility to everyone.
Holton Lee covers an area of 350 acres. The majority of the site is recognised and protected as an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and contains habitats which include heathland, saltmarsh, reedbed and woodland.
Parking is plentiful near the main buildings at the given co-ordinates, but the management request only one visit to find caches and enjoy the experience to be had at the Holton Lee site. Further visits can be made but you will have to obtain a permit by contacting the estate. Please do not park on the access road and adhere to the speed limit, which is put in place to protect the New Forest ponies which graze the heathland. Also definitely no night caching!
The initial phase is a series of 10 caches on accessible paths in fantastic woodlands and open spaces, caches are easy to approach and find (hopefully!) but help may be required to recover one or two caches. Total distance is just over 2 miles on very good mainly flat paths with some small inclines.
Please respect the environment, close gates to protect livestock and keep dogs on lead at all times. The estate has a range of vehicles which include trampers (off road scooters) and a golf buggy which are available for hire for disabled people on site.
Finally please replace and re-cover caches as found and enjoy.
*PLEASE NOTE If archery is in progress, please DO NOT cross the centre of the field as it can be very dangerous. If the No Entry sign is posted on the gate on Sunday you must use the adjacent field to access the last 3 caches.
At time of setting there is a first to find badge and TB and lots of swappables in this cache. From here head directly across the field (not straight on)
