Geocache Description:

Boggart Hole Clough is classified as an Ancient Woodland and is steeped in history.
The park combines a number of picturesque cloughs varying from steep ravines to gentle sloping gullies.
This particular crossroads once had a drinking water fountain which existed until sometime around the late 70s

It has been claimed that the clough is haunted by a boggart, a mischievous spirit found mainly in Lancashire and Yorshire, perhaps in an attempt to explain the unusual name. 
In 2008, Boggart Hole Clough attained the 
Green Flag Award for the eighth year running. 
The Boggart Hole Clough Brewery, established in 2000, takes its name from the park.

Clough is a northern dialect word for a steep sided, wooded valley; a large part of Boggart Hole Clough
is made up of these valleys and is said to be inhabited by boggarts.

Supposed mysterious disappearances over the years, particularly in the early 19th century,
were often attributed
 to the Boggart of the Clough.

Some stealth required as there can be muggles around

Congratulations to Rusholme Ruffian and alma aurea on a joint first to find!
