Along the banks of the River Eden, there are a series of 10 Benchmark Sculptures, between its source high on Mallerstang to Rockcliffe, where it runs out into the Solway Firth. This one is perched high above a bend on the river, and celebrates the glorious rich colour of the Penrith Sandstone.
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. This field in particular is normally well populated with grazing cows, and there is an exposed drop from GZ down to the river.
