Geocache Description:

2 of 2 Caches I placed on the River Ember


This Cache marks the spot just downstream of where the River Mole terminates into the River Ember before leading into the Thames. If you look/walk further upstream towards the Weir pool you can see the Mole cascading down (on the right) into the Ember (on the left).

The River Mole originally flowed into the River Thames at the point where the present Hampton Court bridge is located. During the early 1930s, when Hampton Court Way and the bridge were built, the River Mole was redirected to flow into the River Ember and both rivers now enter the Thames in a single widened and straightened channel once occupied only by the Ember.

Caution must be taken locating this cache as there is a steep bank. No wheelchair access at the cache but there is around the park.Tweezers may be needed along with a small stretch to reach.

Beware of fisherman, graffiti artists and trolls.

Access can be gained from parking on Aragon Avenue and walking through the park along the Thames.

If arriving on foot from the train station , go over the bridge (Thames) carry on and go over the second bridge (Mole). On the left is a hole in the fence, you are in fact allowed to go through here it is a known path. Be careful of steep bank.
