Geocache Description:


This is a nice simple multi cache set in the lovely Dorset market town of Wimborne, which will take you for a short stroll along part of the River Allen, whilst you are visiting this lovely town.

The above co-ordinates are for an information sign that is close to the River Allen, which starts at Wyke Farm The river is one of the 'twin-bournes', that give Wimborne Minster its name (the other being the Stour itself). It is a tributary of the Stour, which rises near Monkton Up Wimborne in Dorset and flows for over ten miles, past the Minster church at Wimborne and into the Stour just to the south of the town.

To find the cache you can enjoy a stroll along the river, whilst collecting information along the way and doing some simple sums to find the cache, which is a small clip container, stealth will be required when finding the cache, as the area can get busy with muggles, wheelchair users may need help to retrieve the cache.
