Across the grass/marsh and at eye level in the sandstone cliff at the edge of the Eden outflow into the Solway Firth. May not be accessible at very high tides, although the cache itself is well above the water mark. In Summer the undergrowth burgeons but there's a well-worn path through to the sand where dog walkers and others go frequently. Beware muggles – there are always folk about, and a fair degree of stealth may be required. Parking in Rockcliffe is minimal although it might be possible to park at the edge of the marsh before having a look at the sculpture. The cache (a screw-top plastic jar)) is near ‘Global Warming’ - one of thesculptures commissioned by the East Cumbria Countryside Project to celebrate the new millennium. Each benchmark is by a different artist and they’ve been installed at various locations beside public paths along the entire length of the river Eden. The artists’ brief was to produce sculptures that harmonised with the landscape and captured the essence of each locality. The first is Water Cut by Mary Bourne, located close to the source of the river at Mallerstang. The other nine are at Kirkby Stephen, Temple Sowerby, Appleby, Lazonby, Edenhall, Armathwaite, Wetheral, Bitts Park in Carlisle, and here at Rockliffe.
This cache has been placed in celebration of the owner’s 30th wedding anniversary and contains a few bits and bobs plus - at the time of placement - a TB. If you're planning on taking the TB, please read it's goal before moving it on.
