Geocache Description:


Cache placed with the kind permission of Aberdeenshire Council. Inspired by gecko-lizard  Lord of the rings trail I decided I would try to reach the kind of standard thay she manages 

Hazlehead Park is a large public park in the Hazlehead area of AberdeenScotland. 180 hectares in size, it was opened to the public in 1920, having formerly been the estate of Hazlehead House, home of William Rose, shipbuilder.

A large, heavily wooded park on the outskirts of the city, it is popular with walkers on the many tracks through forests; sports enthusiasts (particularly mountain bikers); naturalists; and picnickers. Horse riders from the nearby Hayfield horse centre ride on the tracks that snake through it.

There are football pitches, two golf courses, a pitch and putt course and a horse-riding school. The park has a significant collection of sculpture by a range of artists, including the memorial to those who lost their lives in the Piper Alpha disaster. It also has heritage items which have been rescued from various places within the city, and it features Scotland's oldest maze, first planted in 1935.[1] There is a cafe which will be reopening in summer 2012.

There are some fantastic flower gardens that have to be seen to be believed 

In September 2007, Hazlehead Park was host to the Northsound Radio concert, Free 2007. It took place on Sunday 2 September 2007, and claims to be the biggest free outdoor event in Scotland

 

Please don’t move any stones in situ in the wall. Please leave Gollum in cache he does not like being out in the open
