Geocache Description:


Oakenshaw Wildlife Reserve has a complex of ponds, walkways and dipping platforms and is used as an open-air classroom by schools in the area. After Tony Blair, before he was Prime Minister,planted a tree to mark its opening in 1996, the reserve won a Durham County Council environment award and was the only project in the country to be accepted for the nationwide Millennium Mark Challenge.

We were originally going to put one cache here but placed a second cache to encourage cachers to have a venture around the area. From the parking area head up the main path, as you reach a fork in the path take the left one and head up towards the ponds.

Remember to take some bread for the ducks. Please also note that this area is a Nature Reserve and the rules of the nature reserve must be observed at all times. H J Banks asks that you all respect the area.
