Pex Hill had seen quarrying activity since 16th century and from this came the Pex Hill Resevoirs (United Utilities) the oldest remaining dated 1878. The quarry has not been worked for more than 100 years and nowadays the abandoned quarry is used for climbing activity. There are a series of footpaths and bridleways making many pleasant walks around the Cronton area leading to Rainhill and north Widnes.
The Cache is situated near to the start of some very lovely walks.
The easiest is to park in the car park at Pex Hill and walk (approx 100yds).
Although this is a nice walk for everyone, including families, and the cache is easy enough to find without going 'off road' - some paths are not really suitable for prams or wheelchairs. Some care should be taken on stony ground and boots or sturdy footwear is recommended. The ground further on along footpaths may be slightly muddy after heavy rainfall.
The cache is a magnetic keycase.
