This cache is placed along a walk along the River Eden at Temple Sowerby, and can be combined with others in the area to form a very pleasant 4.5 mile walk. Please note that you cannot access any of these caches from the A66 dual carriageway. We would recommend that you park either in the village or at Millgill Bridge and walk the paths.
All the caches along the river bank are placed above the river, and should be accessible under all conditions, but please be aware that the Eden does flood in this area, and take due care according to the weather. Also, this walk has several stiles to negotiate, and the fields are often grazed by cattle, so it is not really suitable for pushchairs or disabled access and all dogs must be kept on leads.
The Quercus Robur, or English Oak is one of the most iconic sites in the countryside, and is usually said to take 300 years to grow, 300 years to thrive and 300 years to die.
