Geocache Description:

This is a short series following the B4636 Newton Rd aprox 1.5miles long, attempting to put a range of different caches along it's route and show what is available in this area, this is a very busy road with only a few places to stop so you will have to plan where you may want to start. some of the caches along the route could be done as Cache & Dash there is a puzzle/multi & Bonus cache that you will need to workout by checking where they can be seen.


This I believe is the only kissing gate on the Newtown Rd which leads to the Ronkswood Hill local nature reserve with a public footpath across the fields, Once part of the former Ronkswood Hill Farm, the reserve is still grazed by cattle in the summer months, and 18th Century hedgerows have been restored. A patchwork of scrub and bramble and ponds add to the value of the site for biodiversity.
Notable wildlife : Yellow Meadow Ant, Fox, Kestrel, Green Woodpecker
Earthwork remains of WW2 searchlight battery, ridge and furrow, views to Worcester Cathedral and Malvern Hills.

Visitor facilities: Views, benches, interpretation board
Well behaved dogs welcome, please put your dog on a lead when cattle are on site.

The cache is a camo tub slightly larger than 35ml, another EXTRA that contains a stamp (please do not remove) you will need your own ink pad for the stamp and a pen to sign the log, please replace as found

The bonus cache can be found by collecting all the letters and associated numbers then placing them in alphabetical order to locate where the cache is, they have been placed in the caches along the route(but not in order) and are at the top/beginning of each log good hunting this is a replacement cache as my first one went missing even before it had been published so please hide out of sight with what is available at GZ Honours go to FTF HKM Hill (Mike & Hanna) STF MLJ Waffle007 TTF Joint Sharpei65 & Neil H
