Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve AdLab Bonus Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

FamousEccles: Due to extensive forestry work the nearby car park remains closed and the footpaths in the area of this Bonus cache are badly churned up. So, sadly, time to thank everyone who took the time to walk the feeder AdLab trail and visit the cache. The container will be collected in as soon as it is safe to do so.

Geocache Description:


UPDATE 20.11.23: We understand that forestry work is still ongoing and you may find the main car park and some trails closed. There is limited road-side parking approximately 150 m to the south of the main entrance.

18.10.23: We understand that Forestry Commission will be 'closing' Cowleaze Woods from today until Christmas for 'cleansing' work. We are not sure whether this includes the car park or which parts of the woods will be affected. We will leave our caches and AdLabs in play for the moment until we can get further information.

This is the Bonus cache for the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve Adventure Lab.

This short 1.3 km (0.8 m) stroll will take you to some spectacular viewpoints and hopefully allow you to see some of the rare and interesting local flora and fauna.
