Geocache Description:


This is a series of random caches set out on Hartlebury common, an area where we walk the Gang and our “Cinnamon Trust” dogs Jessie and Archie.

Hartlebury Common is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

It is the largest and most important area of heathland in Worcestershire, containing many rare plants and animals and offers reasonably easy walking conditions at all times of the year.

Please be aware that cows are currently being used to control vegetation, they are however extremely placid in nature.

Please bring your own pencil and tweezers.

Our thanks as always to Mr Denby the parish path warden for his enthusiasm and encouragement in the production of these caches.

On this occasion special thanks to Mr Martin Barnett of the Countryside Services West Sites Team for permission to place these caches.
