Geocache Description:

Repton Park is in Chigwell Essex. There are no restrictions on the time you can visit this cache. Best parking in Roding Lane North Chigwell Essex N51.36.082/E000.03.374. Quite a demanding walk and paths vary from hard paths to small tracks so be prepared!

Repton Park is named after Humphrey Repton Who designed the country park over 100 years ago. This area was then known as Claybury hospital which was a lunatic asylum so you never know what ghosts are in the woods. This area is full of wild life and is a recognized wild life sanctuary. We got delayed placing this cache as we were to busy watching the woodpeckers.
Humphrey Repton (1752-1818), the son of a Suffolk exciseman, worked in a number of fields until he found success in the field of landscape design. He is actually credited with inventing the term "landscape gardening" in order to express his theory that the art requires "the united powers of the landscape painter and the practical gardener ". Repton's work for many country landowners and in London - the laying out of Russell Square in Bloomsbury and the redesigning of Kensington Gardens - all attracted notice. One of his basic tenets was that the natural site should set the tone for its landscaping.
So you are looking for a 1.5 litre plastic container with a green geo sticker on.
