Geocache Description:

A visit to Capenhurst Pinfold to collect information, followed by a walk of just over half a mile through fields to the cache. The fields are a little uneven in places and can get fairly muddy after rain. There may also be cows in the fields so please keep dogs under control.

In medieval times a Pinfold was an enclosure where stray farm animals were kept until claimed by their owners for a fee, as without hedges and fences straying animals would have been a menace to crops. This is from where the surname Pinder originates, as it means 'one who impounds' or 'a poundkeeper'. Capenhurst's Pinfold has existed for centuries, and was recently restored by the Parish Council with the aid of a grant.


The cache co-ordinates are for the Pinfold itself where you will find some information etched into stone. The cache itself can then be found at:

The cache is a standard tupperware style container hidden in a camouflage bag.
