Three new caches and five existing caches are hidden on the estate, each linked to Brockhampton's rich farming heritage and amazing wildlife. This cache is a micro sized container with no room for swaps. It was originally hidden for the National trust's Geocaching weekend in September 2012 but wasn't published at that time. You will find the tale of Brockhampton's elusive terrapin inside the cache!
The National Trust have GPS units available to borrow for new Geocachers. Three of the caches are ideal for beginners while the other caches have been hidden in more difficult terrain out on the estate. For a lovely walk, do all eight.
Print out this cache listing to get free entry onto the estate (visitor car park charge still applies as does admission charge for Lower Brockhampton).
At Brockhampton there are miles of walks through the park and woodland, featuring ancient trees, the picturesque Lawn Pool, and various sculptures depicting parts of the history of Brockhampton and the local area. Some of the paths are quite steep and can be muddy! Sturdy footwear is always recommended!
Brockhampton is home to a rich variety of wildlife, along with historic farming breeds such as Hereford cattle and Ryeland sheep.
Bring a picnic and you can stay all day.
You can park in the National Trust visitors car park( SO 68420 54948) where there is a pay & display machine and admission charges apply. At the car park, there is a map showing the waymarked walks.
