VS #0328a UNDERRIVER
>
Underriver is a small village about 3 miles (5 km) south-east of Sevenoaks; the name is derived from the Old English sub le ryver which translates into modern English as "under the hill". In addition to St Margaret's Church, which is a Grade II listed, there is a village hall.
Please be careful when walking in the village as there are no pavements and don't look for this cache after dark.
About 1km north of the village is the National Trust's One Tree Hill car park, the views from there are outstanding and it is a great picnic spot in the Summer.
There is parking available in Underriver near the Church but the village can be busy, especially in the summer. There is a very limited bus service from Tonbridge to Underriver.
About Village Sign Caches
|
 ⠀ |
This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
