Cannon Hill is a significant and prominent point within the village of Quarndon.
It gives you spectacular views over the Kedleston Estate with further views across to Derby City.
The cache is on a footath across Canon Hill, so called as legen has it that Oliver Cromwell had cannons based on here in the direction of Mackworth Castle during the English Civil War.
It is also said that, in times of emergency - eg, the Spanish Armada, the Napoleonic threats and 19th century famine riots - a cannon was wheeled out from Kedleston Hall to this vantage-point.
