Geocache Description:

I placed this cache on a visit to Hurst from Scotland where I now live.  Its on the Millenium Walk which is a path that was created to celebrate the turn of the century.  The path actually starts from a housing estate that never existed when I lived in the village.
The cache was placed with the help of my daughter Katie, My Mum and Freddie the sausage dog!! It's the first one we've placed and I thought it appropriate that I place it in the place I was born.

The Cache is hidden in St George's Millennium Garden.  This was originally part of the grounds of Col Hannington's house. In 2000 a trust was set up to save this part of the garden from development and retain it as a wildlife refuge.

The house was the home of Col. Charles Hannington who, in 1852, had a serious ‘disagreement' with the Rector of Hurstpierpoint, supposedly telling him "not to come the High Priest over me!" The colonel duly built his own ‘Little Park Chapel' in the grounds of the house. Although originally used by Baptist Pastors it was made over to the Diocese of Chichester in 1892 and became known as St. George's Church.

As you walk through this ‘wild' garden there are glimpses away to the north of Hurstpierpoint College and beyond that to Burgess Hill, which from this viewpoint sits squarely atop its hill.
