Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of caches around the Valley Gardens in Harrogate. If you start at the main entrance to the gardens - next to the *Pump House* virtual cache by dylanhayes (GCBDA5)- then you can take a mostly level circular walk around the gardens, which can be busy on fine days (and at night - when caching is not recommended).

The Magnesia Well was one of several sulphur based mineral water wells in the area, which became very fashionable in Victorian times for their healing qualities and established Harrogate as the foremost Spa town in Britain.

The original Magnesia Well Pump Room from 1858 was superseded by a more ornate building in 1895 which, despite two fires in the last century, remains open as a cafe.

You WILL experience some GPS inaccuracies due to tree cover around the Old Magnesia Well, so use your eyes too. This is a fairly busy area at all times with dog walkers and people enjoying the gardens, so please make sure you are not seen when approaching the cache site. Open 24/7 but best avoided at night-time.

PLEASE ENSURE THIS BOX REMAINS COMPLETELY HIDDEN FROM VIEW
