Geocache Description:

A magnetic micro cache and dash in Edwinstowe, bring your own pen/pencil (and perhaps an extraction tool) Children should be accompanied by an Adult for this one This is a popular area for muggles especially in the summer months, stealth will be required

This area is part of the Duke of Portlands old flood meadow and the old lock mechanism can still be seen today.

William Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland instigated an irrigation scheme of flood meadows for 7 ½ miles along the course of the River Maun between Carr Bank Wood, Mansfield and the parish boundary between Edwinstowe and Ollerton. The flood meadows were intended to increase the yield of hay to feed flocks of sheep during the winter. The scheme cost almost £40,000 and was notable by the philanthropic nature of the high wages that the Duke offered to pay the construction labourers in a time of high unemployment created by the mechanisation of industry and the recent wars against Napoleon.
