Geocache Description:

Geofroggie's Crusade! (Cache #2 in the Geodoggie Series) This small interestingly-shaped cache has been hidden by Geodoggie's cousin, Geofroggie, on Geodoggie’s second most favourite walk through Salehurst.

Cache placed with the kind permission of the Woodland Trust. The cache can be found along a public footpath behind the residental areas in Salehurst. The cache can be accessed via a public footpath that runs between Beech House Lane and Rotherview. Parking is available on Rotherview and the surrounding streets of Salehurst. 

Background Information:
In historic terms, Salehurst is much older than Robertsbridge; before the bridge over the River Rother was built it already existed, and it is named in the Domesday Book. At the time the river crossing was by ford or ferry, but in the 12th century a newly-established order of Cistercian monks constructed the bridge, and the two settlements of Robertsbridge and Northbridge Street came into being. Salehurst lies approximately three miles from Bodiam, Sussex, site of Bodiam Castle. One owner of Bodiam Castle was the Levett family, who lived at Salehurst during their 'occupation' of the castle. In 1588 John Levett of Salehurst contributed to the Armada loan, and in 1607 his sons John and Thomas of Salehurst were re-granted by the College of Arms their right to the Levett coat of arms issued to their Sussex ancestors.
