Walk the Line II Traditional Cache

This cache is the second of a series along the Downs Link long distance cycle path. This footpath and bridleway links the North Downs Way at St Martha’s Hill, Surrey with the South Downs Way near Steyning, West Sussex and on via the Coastal Link to Shoreham by-Sea. Most of the 37 mile trail follows former railway lines.

I would particularly recommend that you allow sufficient time to look around the former West Grinstead railway station site; there is an old railway carriage converted to a small museum (usually open at weekends) and the area has been subtly developed to attract wild life; there is a small orchard tucked away on the road side of the site. The signal can be operated at any time (and is much loved by the little leprechauns). There are a few picnic tables and benches if you want to bring your lunch!

There is a small car park (with height barrier) at the station site - turn in to a small lane immediately adjacent to the former Little Chef building.

The cache is a fairly easy walk or very easy cycle from the old station. This cache went missing in December 2006 and was temporarily replaced by a Micro. The Southseekers amazingly found it after three months, deep in a rabbit hole, and the cache was re-instated in April 2007!
