Geocache Description:


Vauxhall Fields

Vauxhall fields, also known as Vauxhall meadows, are water meadows to the northwest of Monmouth town centre, Wales. The River Monnow borders the meadows on two sides. The meadows have generally remained free of development. The area has been prone to flooding on many occasions over the years.

History

Before 1880 the area was mainly farmland. The area was originally made up of several fields:- Castle Field Meadows, Lower Priory Holme, Middle Priory Field and Bridge Meadows. Castle Field was probably the main site of the battle in 1233 between the supporters of Henry III, King of England, and those of Richard, the Earl of Pembroke and Lord Marshal. In the late eighteenth century, part of the area was laid out as pleasure grounds by Mr Tibbs, landlord of the Beaufort Arms Hotel, and became known as Vauxhall after Vauxhall gardens in London.

The Cache

The cache and its series has been placed here to create a nice little walk, the cache is a size small and it's a pot with a red lid. The cache should be able to be found within 5-10 minutes and is home to the usual swapable items. The cache can fit possibly 1-2 trackables in it but wouldn't be classed as a trackable hotel.
