Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small black box with room for swaps, small TBs, coins etc. Please replace the cache as found.

This cache is placed at the end of a footpath through an old cutting which formed part of the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway, not far from the original location of the Union Bank halt station. At one time the path to the South was more overgrown and so for me was the End of the Line for my walk along the abandoned railway. In 2014 the footpath was cleared and widened, so the cache is no longer at the End of the Line, hence the name change. The path is known as the Farnsworth-Sutton Greenway and attracts pedestrians and cycles. There is a nice walk back along the field from here towards St Helens, or you can walk onward along the old line to Widnes. You can incorporate some of my other caches in the area and take a loosely circular walk around the Tibbs Cross area.
