Geocache Description:

This location offers wonderful views of the Brackenhurst main hall and the surrounding livestock and crop fields, although somebody close is being quite rude!

This location offers wonderful views of the Brackenhurst main hall and the surrounding livestock and crop fields, although somebody close is being quite rude! Built in 1828 for the Reverend Thomas Coates Caine, Brackenhurst later became the home of Sir William Norton Hicking who, with his father, founded G and WN Hicking, lace bleachers and finishers of Nottingham. Sir William was also Chairman of the Nottingham and Notts Banking Company. On the 23 April 1861 Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby was born within the Hall. During the Great War Brackenhurst Hall was used as a war hospital. In 1947, Sir William died and the estate was sold to Nottinghamshire County Council and was opened in 1948 as a Farm Institute. In 1999, Brackenhurst College merged with Nottingham Trent University and has been an integral part of the University ever since.

Did you bring your four legged friends along on the treasure hunt? If so, we would love to know. Please comment with how many dogs and if you’ve walked them here before. Thanks.
