Geocache Description:

This is a simple micro cache in the heart of Salisbury at an area so well captured by Constable in his painting “From the Bishops Garden”. There are beautiful views to be had of the Cathedral from the Queen Elizabeth Gardens and the Town Path or walk a little bit further along to enjoy the Old Mill.

There is plenty of car parks and on road parking close by but being Salisbury it’s unlikely you will get away without paying for parking. Take care and avoid leaving your car in resident only parking areas, which some of the roads close by just happen to be, I found out the hard way!

If you need parking co-ordinates the following are available:

Car Park (small charge involved) at Salisbury end of walk N51º 04.084 W001º 47.996 (recommended as this is the more interesting walk)

Limited free parking at Harnham N51º 03.808 W001º 48.526

In searching this cache out you will have great views of Salisbury Cathedral and surrounding meadows. The walk itself is less than 0.7 miles round trip from the nearest Salisbury car park. If you happen to do the walk late evening, keep your eyes open for the local foxes.

For more information about Salisbury Cathedral, visit this webpage.

Being a micro cache there is no room for the usual items for exchange, only log sheets and a pencil. It may be as well to bring your own writing implement, as who knows how long the pencil will remain or last!

Warning: if you have children with you please take care and keep an eye on them as there is some deep water close to this cache.
