Geocache Description:

The cache is at the top of Gallows bank, a meadow in the town of Ludlow which, at the top, looks over the town with a wonderful view. I chose to put it here as i think it is a view of the town not many visitors to the town would know about and it is rather spectacular. 


The cache is a small, clear container with a blue lid and about 20cm long, There is a small reward for the FTF :)

There are two ways of getting to it, and easier and more difficult way. For the easy option you will need to turn town Tolegate Road. About 400m down that road you will come to a small park on you left and some KEEP CLEAR signs painted on the road. Opposite that you on the right you should see some white railings and a small path. Park your car anywhere along here. Go up the path, through the white railings, carry on up until the path is met by another one going form left to right in some trees. Go left up there for 2 mins untill you find a small footpath on your left and up there you shall find this Gem. After you have found it be sure to sit on the benchs and take in the view :)

Alternatively you can start from the bottom of the bank and work your way up. For this you need to drive down Sheet Road and at the bottom you should find Charlton Rise. Turn down there then park on the left next to the grassy area. In front of you you should see a row of garages, walk along then go through the gate at the end. You are now at the bottom of Gallows bank and from here the only way is up.....

Good luck :)
