One of a pair of caches in the area of the new Jennett's Park development.
"Jennets Park is a new development located in the heart of Berkshire, between Bracknell and Wokingham, built by a consortium comprising Persimmon Homes and Redrow Homes (Southern) Ltd.
Jennett's Park has been chosen as the new name for the development, previously known as Peacock Farm, as it strongly reflects the topography and history of the local area. Jennett’s is taken from the existing landmark, Jennett's Hill, which is at the highest point on the development and ‘Park’ accurately reflects the fact that this area was once parkland within the Easthampstead Estate, which in the Middle Ages was part of the Windsor Great Forest and reserved for royal pastimes.
The new housing and community development will cover 270 acres where between 1300 and 1500 homes will be built over the next 5-6 years.
In contrast to many developments in the area, Jennett’s Park will offer residents a unique living experience with homes just a few minutes’ walk away from significant areas of open space, which form an integral part of the development. These include retained woodland areas such as Tarman’s Copse and West Garden Copse, the open landscape of Jennett’s Hill and, in time, Jennett’s Country Park, which will account for some 91 acres – about a third of the development as a whole. Once complete, footpaths and cycleways will run throughout Jennett's Park and residents or visitors will be able to move from one open area to the next along ‘wildlife corridors’, which will provide natural habitats for wildlife and plants".
(Pardon the marketing blurb, but it shows why there is a lot of easily accessible public open space in this area).
In fact the future 'Country Park' is a large flat grass area, with good paths round and across it - great perhaps for kite flying, kids learning to cycle or Frisbee throwing. The 'hill' is in fact only 40 ft higher than the surrounding, mainly flat, area.
This is one of two caches, because I couldn't decide which of two spots to use - so I've used both!
