Geocache Description:


The Eton Wick Loop including the Bonus is approx 2 miles around the Village. This walk can be just as easily done with a bike or stroller. 

Some of the caches require you to leave the path but still easily accessible.  Most caches contain a code which you will need to collect to enable you to work out how to find the Eton Wick Bonus Cache. 

All you need is Tweezers and a pen.

Please take the time to read the plaque about this Old Oak Tree 

 

 

 

The top photograph of Common Road with the pond was taken in the late 1930s. The Wheatbutts is on the left. The 'old' Scout Hut in Wheatbutts Field can just be seen behind the elm trees, and beyond them, Bell Farm Cottages (now Bellsfield Court flats). A noted occupant of the Wheatbutts was film star the late David Niven, then a wartime Captain in the Highland Infantry. The ponds were used for fishing, bath tub punting, model boat sailing and skating. Note the 'young' oak tree (planted in Jubilee Year 1897), and in front of it a mound of ashes from one of the regular November the 5th bonfires. The railings protecting the tree went as part of the WWII recycling effort. The lower photograph was taken in the 1990s. The ponds were in-filled in 1969.
