This cache is located in the small village of Penleigh, just outside of Westbury.
| Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travelbug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for TravelBugs and Geocoins. Please if you take a TB or GC from a cache will you ensure it is correctly logged in and out, also If you take one that still shows somewhere else please be patient before “grabbing” the item, it does not get its mileage by being grabbed and the last person to place may not have had time to log a previous find or the one you took it from. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug please e-mail the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue. They will be pleased to hear from you.

The village is located to the side of the railway which has the cinder trail running along it, The trail takes you from Penleigh Park, Westbury, along the bass of the railway line to a small farm track which is just opposite the cache location. The trail formally stretched to the train station at Dilton Marsh further up the road but the rest of the trail in between Penleigh village and Dilton Marsh now sits abandoned at the base of the railway hill covered in trees and re- claimed by nature. As you pass under the railway bridge at the adjacent end of Penleigh there is a small wooded area at the base of the railway next to the road, if you look carefully through the trees you can see the shape of the abandoned path still in place. I can’t find any information as to why this section of the cinder trail was closed and left abandoned so for me it will remain a mystery.
Accessibility
The cache is in a small woodland next to a popular dog walking field for locals, so stealth is required. The cache is neither wheelchair, or pushchair accessible unfortunately.
