Geocache Description:

A view of Tewkesbury Abbey from the "Severn Ham" Flat terrain with good access for "off-road" buggies.

G:UK cache rating

The "Severn Ham" at Tewkesbury is "one of the last remaining traditionally managed ham meadows overlying the alluvium of the Severn Vale". It has a great richness of grass species, every year the hay is cut and sold at public auction (2005 was a bad year - only one bidder turned up so they got the hay for a snip). For geotwitchers Lapwing, Redshank and Curlew have been known to nest here and many songbirds visit.

The Ham is crossed by a number of footpaths although in practice you are free to wander wherever you like.

The cache is a regular 1.6l Lock-n-Lock sandwich box in a camo stuff-sac and contains the usual cache goodies in addition to the logbook.

Be careful when retrieving, there are some nettles about. Be discreete, this is a popular place, particularly at weekends.
