These 8 caches, the first that we have placed, follow the lanes and footpaths around the edges of Cannock Wood and Gentleshaw. These two villages are, in fact, one village with the east side being under Lichfield Council, and called Gentleshaw, and the west side under Cannock Chase Council and called Cannock Wood.
The caches have been placed to fit in with existing ones from other owners to create a, more or less, circular route of 19 caches. The recommended starting point is Castle Ring car park with a suggested route being:
Castle Ring Iron Age Hill Fort (Earthcache)
Retirement Plan - Fridays (Archaeology)
