This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:


Hornchurch Country Park is a 104.5-hectare park on the former site of Hornchurch Airfield, south of Hornchurch in the London Borough of Haveringeast London.

The River Ingrebourne passes through the park and if forms part of Thames Chase Community Forest. The most popular part of the park is to the west of the Ingrebourne, where the ground is flat and paved; this area is most commonly frequented by dog walkers. The woodland to the east of the river is somewhat inaccessible. Some southern parts of the park that reach into Rainham have been used as landfill.

There is a fishing lake located there, and there are many paths leading from the park to other nearby areas, including UpminsterDagenham and Rainham.

There are a number of pillboxes and other items dating from the Second World War to be found in the park.[1]

The park is a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade I.[2][3] Almost all of it falls within the Ingrebourne Valley Local Nature Reserve,[4][5] and the eastern edge is part of the Ingrebourne Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest.[6][7]

There is access from Airfield Way/Squadron's Approach, off South End Road.
