Geocache Description:

I am the groundskeeper for Groby and I have introduced a series of Geocaches to show people the hidden areas around the village.
I will be adding more caches over time to produce a series.
Caches are placed randomly at present, with the intention of linking them together in the future.
If you are hunting during the week, you may come across me carrying out my duties. Please feel free to come over and introduce yourself.

This footpath is known as the Mineral Line. It once used to be the conveyor of Groby Granite from the Quarry (now Quarry Park) along a narrow gauge railway, the rails have long gone and it is now a scenic footpath.

Along side the cache is a field known as Butler's field, this is an area which has been dedicated to wildlife and is managed accordingly. In 2012 we planted 60 trees to honour the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

The footpath leads you to Cowpen Spinney, an area of woodland consisting of mainly oak and ash trees.
