This cache can be found in the area known as a Site of Interest for Nature Conservation just behind the new housing at the end of Rutlish Road or Melbourne Road.
This is a lovely space to walk through, with wild flowers, birds and butterflies and, although it is much smaller now, it still has a charm of its own. One path that runs through this area links to a woodland path that runs down to the Abbey Recreation Ground where you will find a large field and a well used playground.
Abbey Recreation Ground was once within the lands of Merton Place estate owned by Lord Nelson, where he lived from 1801-1805 immediately prior to his death at the Battle of Trafalgar.
The cache itself is approximately 10cms long with a tiny log book – please replace exactly how you found it. Please don't trample the undergrowth - there is no need. Your starting point is knee high if you look in the right place. BYOP.
No pictures of the container please.
