PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMP FROM THE CACHE!
This cache is to raise awareness of the sometimes forgotten Surrey river Rythe.
About the Rythe
The Rythe begins at several sources, the furthest of which are four located within Prince’s Coverts, a woodland area situated in the parish and ward of Oxshott. These sources merge along the northern edge to form the Arbrook. The river then flows beneath the six-lane A3, entering the wooded area of Arbrook Common, where it is joined by three additional headwaters rising in the suburban village of Claygate, which lies to the east on the right bank.
Continuing northwards, the Rythe skirts Littleworth Common and Hinchley Wood before reaching the Scilly Isles roundabout, a remnant of Ditton Marsh, now part of Esher. From there, the river follows the Portsmouth Road, running through part of Thames Ditton and parallel to the South West Main Line. It receives a shorter eastern branch, which originates in Surbiton Golf Course, Long Ditton, before turning and flowing into the River Thames near Ferry Road, approximately 800 metres to the north.
Lately there has been reported sightings of water voles in this area, if you are lucky enough to see one please try your hardest to get a clear photo and forward it on to Surrey County Council Countryside Team. These shy little animals with a rat like appearence have been declared functionally extinct from Surrey since 2008.
