A quiet road side cache at the edge of a lovely village, but keep an eye on little ones and geohounds. Not a drive by, as there is no adjacent parking, although there is abundant parking around the village.
Can be combined with the other caches in the area.
Caldbeck is one of the most beautiful and peaceful of all the Lakeland villages, it lies at the foot of the Northern Fells and just inside the Lake District National Park. The timeless character of the village has been preserved as a conservation area where ponies, sheep, cattle and even ducks roam freely.
The village is named after the river (Cald Beck) on which it stands. This river and its tributaries provided the water for the important industrial development of the area in the 17th and 18th centuries - woollen mills, bobbin mills, corn mills, a paper mill and a brewery. The village still reflects this former industrial activity with many of the old mill buildings still in use.
Caldbeck has lots of amenities and picturesque local walks of all standards; from easy strolls along the river side or around the village pond, to the more strenuous nearby mountains of High Pike or Carrock Fell.
This Geocache was placed with the kind permission of the ‘Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket Parish Council’. The container unscrews to open.
I am a massive rock music fan and aim to give clues to each of my caches with reference to one of my favourite bands: Black Sabbath were an English rock band that formed in 1968 and disbanded in 2017. They have had multiple line up changes, with the guitarist (Tony Iommi) being the only constant member throughout their history. Besides selling over 70 million records worldwide, Black Sabbath, are one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, helping to create the very genre itself.
