Hensborough Hill is a fantastic vantage point admire the surrounding Warwickshire countryside and in particular Draycote Water Reservoir. This part of the hill is part of Draycote Water Country Park, parking is available in the car parks near the visitor centre (please note that a £2.50 parking charge applies).
Draycote Water Reservoir that you see to the north of Hensborough Hill is quite a feat of engineering. The reservoir was built to meet the ever increasing demand for water from south and east Warwickshire. It was decided that this was an ideal place for the reservoir as the land was low lying, and had a series of 5 small hills and a ridge which was linked together by 6 dams, it is also in close proximity to the river. The embankment was for a time the second largest Dam in the world, second only to the Aswan Dam in Egypt. The reservoir is 630 acres (240ha) the distance around the edge is 5 miles, the maximum depth is 70ft and the capacity is 5,000,000,000 gallons.
The cache is not quite at the top of the hill but just off the road that leads to the top of the hill.
