Ribston Pippin an old apple tree variety not seen very often in recent times (but still available from specialist growers).
There is still a surviving tree growing within Ribston Hall grounds.
The Ribston Pippin is widely thought to be one of the original parents of the famous Cox's Orange Pippin.
This cache can be approached on foot (public footpath) from a choice of
1:Little Ribston (the longest but the nicest)
2:Goldsborough

Passing Ribston hall with it's 11th century chapel attached, Plumpton rocks a natural ice age rock deposit around a Victorian lake.
The Bay Horse pub (Goldsborough) is almost en route (worth the slight detour to feed and water the inner person).
Latin names are included in the HINT/SPOILER section (not encrypted) RESEARCH may help if you are not a plant/tree expert.
Once you have found the cache a short walk Eastish (100m approx) to the right of the raised track set into the field a pair of
crypt like doors you can hear the once dreaded (when we were children) bump ssh .... bump ssh ... grave of the un dead Dracula
(so we thought at the time). It's been making it's odd noise for as long as I can remember .... !
