A quiet road side cache at the edge of a lovely village. It is close to a junction, so 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.
Hesket Newmarket 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, and it has picturesque local walks of all standards; from easy strolls along the river side, 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.
My wife (Suzanne) is a massive music fan and has asked me to place a cache to commemorate one of her favourite artists, on the date of his birth (hence the name of the cache): Leonard Cohen (September 21, 1934 – November 7, 2016) was a Canadian poet and novelist. Disappointed with his lack of financial success as a writer, Cohen moved to the United States in 1967 to pursue a career as a folk music singer–songwriter. His work explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality and personal relationships. He has been heralded as a major influence on many aspiring young musicians and lyricists.
