This cache replaces an archived cached (Doin it in stile - GC2YZW8) which I was unable to adopt from its owner. Its also my first cache that I've hidden!
Having lived in the area for several years, we have only just discovered there is a Motte & Bailey castle nearby. A fascinating find! We thought it would be nice for other people to know about this too. It is believed to be a medieval castle which was built on the site a prehistoric burial mound. Archaeological excavations were carried out in 1843 and the 1980s.
You can do a nice circular walk past this cache which is just a bit over 2km (and includes another of our caches GC5F3D0). Be sure to climb to the top of the castle!
