Geocache Description:

FULLY CHECKED AND THE START OF THE MULTI AMENDED DECEMBER 2023

Co-ordinates are for the front of the Vistor Centre at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, just south of Petersfield, Hampshire on the A3.

The route itself involves a steep ascent and a walk of a few kilometres. Once the climb is over, the route is on essentially flat well kept paths through Forestry Commission maintained woodland.

Details about Queen Elizabeth Country Park including the Vistor Centre opening times and car parking charges can be found here.

The new ticketing system requires you to pay before leaving so you can drive beyond the visitor centre allowing you to get closer to some of the clues if you don't fancy the climb. There is an excellent children's adventure trail and picnic spot at the Juniper Car Park which has toilets and a refreshment kiosk.

The cache location is registered with the Forestry Commission and approved by the Park Manager
