Geocache Description:


The first of eighteen caches along section 2.2 of the Greensand Way from Yalding to West Peckham. The route is mainly clearly marked as the Greensand Way

Number 1 is a letterbox cache containing a stamp which should remain in the pot. Parking is available in Yalding.
Coming from the previous section of the walk you will pass Yalding Hill walk 00A (GC2T46R) and point of interest the Village Lock Up, identified by the studs. There is a long gap because there are 5 other caches between here and our new cache, if you have not already found them then they are:

VS #482 (GC68WKP)
VS #483 (GC6WM3)
Kent Lost Pubs no 4 (GC1GC0E)
CM 8902 (GC68VHV)
Red Phone Box #27 (GC2C9FF)

You will cross Town Bridge, spanning the marsh and the river Beult, it has 7 arches and is the longest medieval bridge in Kent. Then turn right to get to the Lees and to our first cache.

The Greensand Way is a long-distance path of 108 miles (174 km) going from Ham Street in Kent to Haslemere in Surrey

It follows the Greensand Ridge along the Surrey Hills and Chart Hills. The route is mostly rural, passing through woods, and alongside fruit orchards and hop farms

The trail was opened on 15 June 1980 and is jointly managed by Surrey and Kent Councils
