Crook Gill Traditional Cache

This very small cache and six other full size caches in the area have been set up by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority with kind permission of The National Trust who own this land. Most of the caches contain the usual items PLUS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION so that you can find out more about the archaeology and history of this interesting and beautiful area.

This cache is a very small cache containing a log book and information, and is only large enough for tiny items and small TBs and Geocoins.

Please be sure to re-hide the cache very carefully as it can be easily spotted when approaching from the path if it is not fully covered.

A prominent stone cairn can be seen above the footpath, further on up the valley. To find out more about ancient burial sites in the Dales visit the Themes/Religion area of our archaeology website www.outofoblivion.org.uk

This cache can be included with others to make a wonderful circular walk, with a short deviation to the 'Packhorse Way'. If you want to bag all seven of the caches we have hidden in the area the waypoint names are in order below. The trail is about 8 miles long starting at Buckden National Park car park (charge).

There is a regular bus service to Buckden.
