Geocache Description:

This cache is wheelchair friendly

Former Road Toll House at Pickwick Gate, now Roundhouse in garden wall. The principal structure is thought to have been built for the Corsham Turnpike Trust in the 19th century in the form of a simple booth. Currently gardenhouse property with only minor changes to the original tollhouse structure on the A4, Chippenham to Box road. External features; two-storeys on Circular floor plan, having a pyramidal roof, with walls mainly of rough stone, roofed in stone tile, square headed windows with casements, no porch with a square headed doorway; small stone lodge set in a stone wall with central stone chimney stack. A small roundhouse set in the garden wall. The windows once faced up and down road but are now blocked. Looks convincing as a tollhouse.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. So dont just stick in "easy find TFTC" on every log. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.



Travelbug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for TravelBugs and Geocoins. Please if you take a TB or GC from a cache will you ensure it is correctly logged in and out, also If you take one that still shows somewhere else please be patient before “grabbing” the item, it does not get its mileage by being grabbed and the last person to place may not have had time to log a previous find or the one you took it from. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug please e-mail the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue. They will be pleased to hear from you.


If other geocachers would like to set caches near UK Toll Houses, please get in touch with The Chens first and they will number them in the same way as the Church Micro series. We would ask that the name is in the form "number UK Toll House - Local name". If you have a system of numbering your own caches, like The Chens; then do put that first.
