Geocache Description:

1 Of 2 Caches I have placed on the River Ember.


Welcome to Ember Mill this stands as it stood on an island in the River Ember. The mill was demolished in around 1837 and the sluices and waterfalls on either side are all that remain to indicate the site. The mill was originally a corn mill but was later used for manufacturing brass and iron wire. 

This part of the Ember is bypassed by the new channel of the flood prevention scheme which is near to the cache, be sure to check it out. You can also gain access to the River Mole here which is situated on Neilson Recreation Ground, a  lovely place to visit in the summer. Both of the rivers eventually lead down to Hampton Court where they terminate into the Thames at Cigarette Island Park.

 

Access is gained via a footbridge at the end of Orchard Lane where you can park and use the Public Footpath. It is Wheelchair friendly but you will need a helper to retrieve it. The co ordinates should be bang on it is not directly at the mill but is somewhere on the island. You are looking for a small clip top box cache with space to leave swaps.

 

Bring a pen.
