Geocache Description:

* (seasons permitting). A short cache at top of Naish Hill, WIltshire.

G:UK cache rating

Adjacent to the main road that links Sandy Lane with Bowden Hill and Lacock there is a paradise for Bluebell enthusiasts. However, at other times of the year, the Naish Hill end of this Woodland has its own occupants. The inner fenced area of the land is owned by Wessex Water to house the 'Sandy Lane' reservoir - a more modern exchange to the hill fort of days gone by where it was possible to see out over the Mendips and the Cotswolds for miles. Surrounding the reservoir is a planted pine forest to enable it to blend in to its surroundings. Some of these pine trees are swathed in wild Honeysuckle and bracken is in abundance. It is possible to get quite near to the cache site by car.The difficulty of the cache is set higher due to tree cover and also due to underlying brambles in some places. You are looking for an ammo box. Please could you re-hide it thoroughly as this location seems to be a popular retreat.Nearest pubs are at Sandy Lane and dotted down Bowden Hill and into Lacock village.
