Geocache Description:

This location overlooks Oxford and was built for the famous view known as "The Dreaming Spires". Unfortunately this view is now hidden by trees. Suitable for older children, fairly easy access. Please don't leave food, drink or soap because these attract animals.

The view from this location (Boar's Hill) is shown on this web site.

The cache is located adjacent to a specially built viewing area called Jarn Mound. The Jarn Mound was built between 1929 and 1931 to improve the already well-known view, and the area around the mound turned into and woodland garden. Unfortunately the trees have grown so high that they now obscure much of the view; however the views from the road are good.

This cache is a large ammo box. When replacing the cache please ensure it is hidden from view in every direction.

We suggest that you park your car at N51°42.989', W01°17.896'. This is adjacent to the mound itself and just a short walk from the cache location.

An Ordnance Survey map for this location is available at this web site.
