Geocache Description:

Nearby are stones from Cromhall quartzite quarry marking the millennium. The is an information board at the coordinates to find out more.

A long way away in a far corner of the sky, you can see, on a clear night, a faint blue-coloured star. It is really a planet but it is such a small and unimportant one that it doesn't have a name. For one family, however, it is a very important place. It is home.

For the series the planet was constructed from a football bladder encased in plaster. The lids being made out of silvered buttons.

Clangers was a popular British stop-motion animated children's television series of short stories about a family of mouse-like creatures who live on, and in, a small blue planet (quite similar to, but not intended to be, the Moon). They speak in whistles, and eat green soup supplied by the Soup Dragon. The programmes were originally broadcast by the BBC from 1969–1972. The series was made by Smallfilms, the company set up by Oliver Postgate (writer, animator and narrator) and Peter Firmin (modelmaker and illustrator). Firmin designed the characters, and his wife "dressed" the Clangers. Music – which was often part of the story – was by Vernon Elliott.
