Geocache Description:

Recently adopted by MrsTasman73 (Oct 2025) - This cache was part of a series of 14 caches around the Marshside Wetlands, this circular walk should take about 1hr 30mins.

The cache was placed at The Sandgrounder Hide which has good hard paths to it suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Wheelchair users may need assistance retrieving the cache from its spot.

Please rehide well as this is a high muggle zone, thanks :)

 

There's something for everyone all year round at this delightful coastal reserve. In the spring you can see brown hares boxing in the fields, while in the early summer you'll spot nesting birds like avocets and lapwings. During the winter months the skies fill with visiting waterfowl such as pink-footed geese and wigeons, not to mention birds of prey that can set flocks wheeling over the marshes. There are two hides, a viewing platform and three viewing screens.

Whilst doing this cache you can help with conservation by observing a few simple rules:

1, Please keep dogs under close control or on leads and please clean up there mess.

2, Please do not disturb the wildlife, keep people and dogs out of the slacks (breeding pools) in spring and summer.

3, Please take any litter with you, there are bins on the car park.

4, Please keep small children supervised at all times DO NOT park on the road, this is a very fast and busy stretch of the Coastal Road.

 

There is a car park across the road which is now a Pay & Display car park and limited (daytime) opening hours. There is a pedestrian crossing to get you back on the right side.

The cache only holds a log.

Please place back exactly where found so the cache doesn't get disturbed by litter pickers and volunteer tidy uppers.

Co-ordinates can be jumpy. Cache placed with the kind consent of the Marshside RSPB Warden  Happy caching!  Congrats to TMD for a speedy FTF
