This series takes you around the outside of the park to each of the park's 11 historic gates.
All the caches are outside the park boundary and all are accessible 24 hours a day even if the park is shut.
This caches is hidden by Folly Pond. Folly Pond was created from a gravel pit in 1887. It was used as a boating pond for kids between 1922 and 1939.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Gates of Greenwich series is a very popular series with many visitors which is great. It would really help if finders could please please use as little space when signing the logs as possible. Just adding your initials only is enough to prove your find. Please help the logs last as long as they can. THANK YOU. Please feel free to replace any log that is full.
Located on a hilltop overlooking London, Greenwich Park is one of the city's most beautiful parks. It is the oldest enclosed Royal parkland and is home to the Old Royal Observatory, the brand new Planetarium (which is fab and well worth a visit) and the zero line of the Prime Meridian.
The next gate is the Blackheath Gate and boy is it busy, especially when the ice cream van is there during summer weekends. So our cache for this gate is a little way away from the gate itself and it’s a now a magnetic nano.
After you find it, please come back into the park and head through the lovely Flower Garden towards the next cache.
MUGGLE ALERT – all the areas around the park are very busy – especially at weekends – so please be mindful it keeping this circular series of new caches safe from Mr & Mrs Muggle.
Please also bring a pen to sign the log, and please sign using up as little space as possible! Feel free to replace any log that needs replacing.
This is a new version of the old GATES OF GREENWICH #6 & #6.2 It's in a new location though.
If you can please take and post a photo of yourself with your GPS at the gates of the park on your way in (optional)
