Geocache Description:

One of the "Hadleighs Hidden Treasures Series" located in the glorious grassland and woodland of Hadleigh Castle Country Park


This is a fairly easy cache just off a marked walk and is mountain bike or all-terrain pushchair accessible. Closest car park at N51.32°.817' E000°36.417' (about 3/4 mile) - free, but limited space. Larger pay car park (£2 all day) at N51°33.137' E000°35.655'.

Original cache contents (Small Tupperware Box):
  • Fashion Rocks CD
  • St Patricks Day Badge
  • Canada Keyring
  • Surfboard Keyring
  • New Boxed Pencil Sharpner (swopsy)
  • Handy-Wipe and Band-aid
  • Log book and pen

Cache is close to a marked walk path, so care must be taken to avoid unwanted muggle interest. This cache's survival depends on how well it is re-hidden.
The country park gets its name from Hadleigh Castle, built over 700 years ago, and now an impressive ruin.

The Hadleigh's Hidden Treasures series explores all areas of the park, so if you're trying to 'bag the lot' allow a good afternoon, and bargain on 5-8 miles depending on how your arrow is swinging.
