Geohedgehoggie's Crusade! (Cache #4 in the Geodoggie Series) This small cache has been hidden by Geodoggie's cousin, Geohedgehoggie, on Geodoggie’s favourite walk through Salehurst.
This 'cache and dash' can be found along a public road that runs through the village of Salehurst. The cache can be accessed via Beech House Lane.
Parking is available on Beech House Lane or in Rotherview (parking in Rotherview will require a walk through the woods; this route can sometimes be slippery and is quite steep).
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.
