Geocache Description:

Ampthill Park is much more than a pleasant place to visit, it's a nationally important historic site. Henry VIII hunted here almost 500 years ago, and the parkland landscape we enjoy today was created by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in the 18th century.

The Park is home to a variety of interesting and important wildlife. Its veteran trees, many planted by Capability Brown, some even older, are a valuable part of its heritage and support many other organisms including fungi, insects and bats. Distinctive dry grassland communities cover the acidic sandy soils on the top of the Ridge, while at the bottom of the slopes wet flushes are found where water seeps from the base of the Ridge. These rushy areas support unusual species such as ivy-leaved water-crowfoot. The Park is a great place to visit with the kids. During nice weather, they can play in the playground or play tennis, and it's a prime location for sledging when it snows. There is a small cafe in the park and pubs up the road. The cache is a green metal micro-cache with a log rolled up inside.
