Geocache Description:

MEON MARSH SEA LOCK

Enjoy a Geocache at one of my favourite locations. This cache will be available all year round, even when it gets muddy along the canal.

According to the Parish Register, it was Henry, the Third Earl of Southampton, who completed the sealock in 1611 as part of an ambitious scheme to close the Meon estuary and replace the tidal channel with a canal. The mouth of the river was blocked and the salt marshes were reclaimed for pasture. This was a major enginering achievement and the canal is thought to be one of the earliest domestic navigation systems of its size and scale.

There is only a log book, so please bring your own pen.

You cannot Cache and Dash here, so please park as suggested by the sea and use the footpath not the road.

*** Always be careful when near the water ***
