From the side of Frodsham Hill the land slopes gently down towards the River Weaver. However there are some places where streams have cut down deeply into the landscape creating steep sided wooded valleys. These often go unnoticed as few people seek them out. This cache is where a footpath passes through one of these valleys. These fields are well drained, but the valleys can be muddy. Footpaths are well marked.
This and several other caches can be found as part of a planned circular walk with several places you could start from. If caching from Kingsley please note that Pike lane is one vehicle wide, there is no parking on the lane near the footpaths.
The cache is named after my last dog, a springer spaniel who would have loved this area.
In 1850 the Parish Church at Kingsley was opened. Parishioners who previously went to Frodsham Church but now lived in Kingsley parish would have to go to the new church. For residents of Belaire Farm this path is the route they would have taken. This accounts for the size of the bridge, and the sandstone path boundary from the stream towards Pike lane. The bridge is a large single sandstone slab which must have taken many men to get into position.
