From here you will need to find 3 virtual and one physical cache Around the Town.

The First Virtual is located at N51°10.253 W001°47.098 you will need to note down the 4 numbers on it ABCD.

Whilst walking between Virtuals 1 & 2 you will be passing the oldest building in Amesbury, this is the Parish Church of St. Mary and St. Melor, this church was built in the 12th century.

The Second Virtual is located at N51°A0.337 W001°4C.B12 here you will need to note down the 7 numbers on it EFGHIJK.

You should now be walking down Salisbury Street, there are numerous shops and places to eat and drink. A nice cup of coffee and a fresh cream cake can be purchased at Reeves the Bakers, and I would recommend for a very filling Fish and Chip meal that you go to Mitchell's Chippy in Flower Lane just off of Salisbury Street.

The Third Virtual is located at N51°(G+H).(E+H-F)(D-A)0 W001°4(J-H).J35 and has a metal plaque and an carving, the 4 numbers on the top carving is what you need LMNO.

You now have all the details needed to work out the final location for the Physical cache.

This physical (small ½ litre screw top container) cache is located in part of the town known as the "Lord's Walk", formerly Lord Carleton's Walk named after Lord Carleton who planted a twin row of Lime trees leading into the Amesbury Abbey in the year 1720. Sadly he only lived for another 5 years after planting the trees so was never to see his trees mature.

This area is owned and managed by the Amesbury Town Council and is closed one day a year on Christmas Day.

Please be careful in the "Lords Walk" as it follows the course of the River Avon and in winter is liable to flooding, so please wear sensible footware and keep an eye on your children. You may like to bring some bread for the ducks.

To get to the final part you will be walking at the side of the main through road A345 on a wide pavement, please take great care the road can be crossed at two pedestrian crossings, for your own safety please do not cross at any other point.

There is no need to climb fences etc. as the "Lord's Walk" can be accessed via a gate nearest to the river bridge between the main Traffic Lights near the hairdresser "Hair by Joanna" and the Countess Roundabout on the A345/A303.

When finding and replacing the cache please be discrete as this area is used by fisherman and dog walkers. Also please be careful removing and replacing the cache as the hiding place is fragile.

We hope that you have a pleasant time Around the Town. More information on Amesbury Town can be found at The Official website for Amesbury Town

The terrain level will increase to 3½ if you use the first gate rather than the second, to enter the Lord's Walk
