Geocache Description:

A gentle walk through the St Ives Estate near Bingley, West Yorkshire.

The St Ives Estate was owned from 1636 by the Ferrands, one of Bingley's most prominent families. During the 1850s William Ferrand landscaped the estate and created many of the paths and tracks that climb through the woods today.

The Lady B in question is William's mother-in-law, Lady Blantyre, who often came here to sit in the cool shade reading books and generally lounging about. Can't be bad.

GPS accuracy at the site isn't fantastic, but it's not a problem as you'll know when you've arrived. The cache is a 35mm film tub containing a log sheet.

Please bring a pen to sign the log sheet and replace the cache carefully afterwards, thanks.

There's plenty of free parking near the St Ives mansion and Coppice Pond so do stay a while and explore more of the estate. Refreshments & WC are situated near the play area too if you need them.
