Ford is a picturesque village in North Northumberland, with a post office, telephone box, antique shop and small play area. The cache is also conveniently located close to the public toilets should you be caught short :)
Notabe buildings in the village include Lady Waterford Hall, commssioned in 1860 was the village school up until 1957. The Horseshoe forge at the top end of the village which has a stunning horseshoe arch as an entrance way but sadly it no longer operates as a forge. The cache sits behind the Lady Joicey Memorial hall which was built as a community hall in 1913. West of the village sits Ford castle was built in 1287 to protect the estate from the constant wars between the Scots and English. It was used as a hospital during the World War II and is now leased to Northumberland County Council as an educational camp for children. It also features on ITV's Borstal Boys in 2014. Unfortunately it is not open to the public.
