Between the cillages of Broughton Moor, Little Broughton and Great Broughton, and equally accessible from all three, the beautifully named Soddy Gap nature reserve occupes part of the 483 acre Broughton Lodge Site. The site was restored by the Coal Authority and comprises a large pond, two smaller ones, young trees, marsh, scrub and grasslands. There is an abundance of wildlife and especially birdlife accross the reserve.
Villagers from Great and Little Broughton and Broughton Moor regularly visit the area and the site is widely used by walkers, runners, cyclists, birdwatchers and horse riders.
This will hopefully be the first of a number of caches intended to attract visitors to this beautiful and relatively unknown corner of Cumbria.
This is a micro cache. Tweezers will be required to remove the log. Bring yout own pen!
