This is the third incarnation of this cache near the main gates of the mighty Greenwich Park. As of early March 2023 a total of 8873 geocachers have found this cache over the last 15 years! Please please be mindful of muggles. The two previous versions of this cache have clocked up a massive 5664 finds - so you are following in big footsteps.
Located on a hilltop overlooking London, Greenwich Park is one of the city's most beautiful parks. It is the oldest enclosed Royal parkland and is home to the Old Royal Observatory, the brand new Planetarium (which is fab and well worth a visit) and the zero line of the Prime Meridian.
St Mary’s Gate is the main entrance to the park on the north side carefully watched by the statue of King William IV. The road behind you, King William’s Walk, takes its name from the fact that it used to be a red light district visited often by King William IV. Hence the name of the local pub ‘The King’s Arms’.
You’re looking for a little magnetic nano. Please be muggle safe! Leaning on the top and pretending to take a photograph might work well to disguise what you’re finding.
On your way to the next gate don’t forget to enjoy the wonderful Herb Garden to your east with its collection of over 40 herbs.
MUGGLE ALERT – all the areas around the park are very busy – especially at weekends – so please be mindful it keeping this circular series of new caches safe from Mr & Mrs Muggle.
Please also bring a pen to sign the log, and please sign using up as little space as possible!
This is a new version of the old GATES OF GREENWICH #1 & #1.2. If you found the old one (as 544 & 5120 people did) then you won't have any trouble with this one.
If you can please take and post a photo of yourself with your GPS at the gates of the park on your way in.
