This cache is placed in celebration of the CO recently moving to Barton-upon-Humber. Baysgarth park is a lovely, quiet green space in the centre of town and I will be frequently it regularly.
The Cache
The GC is a small container hidden in the wooded area in the southern edge of the park. It contains a log and space for small swaps/TBs. Access to this is via the pedestrian entrance on Eastfield Road, via the road entrance from Brigg Road (approaching the Leisure Centre), or from the Museum entrance on Preston Lane. It should be nice and simple, but is in a quite open public space so muggling is a particular risk. Tree cover may interfere with GPS, so please send me a message if you have any problems
The Museum car park is open all year round. Barrier to two main car parks: Monday to Friday: 7.30am to 9.15pm, Weekends: 8am to 9.15pm. For more info on the park see here.
History
Baysgarth Park was gifted to the people of Barton by Mrs Thomas Ramsden in 1930, in memory of her late parents and her brother who fell during the first world war in 1917. North Lincolnshire Council took ownership of the 12.5 hectare estate following the abolition of Humberside County Council under the 1996 local government reorganization. Baysgarth House, situated at the northern entrance to the park, is now Baysgarth House Museum. The estate is now open park land in two distinct adjoining halves, well stocked with ancient trees protected by conservation and preservation orders. These areas are used to stage a variety of community events throughout the year.
