The Turner Prize Multi-cache

This picturesque market town has slowly developed over the centuries with an interesting mix of architecture as you would expect. Although West Malling has lost its regular weekly market the town still plays host to a monthly farmers market which sells local produce.

Starting this cache in the short-term (2hr) car-park at the co-ordinates listed above our Multi cache will take you throughout this small town (you will need a ticket during the week but it is still free!). Keep your eyes open for some great building styles, good pubs, restaurants and other interesting non-mainstream outlet shops.

You can also start this cache from the main line station (free parking Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank holidays though we advise you to check this with the booking office before leaving your car!) You also might like to walk the cache in the reverse order from this starting point.

Enjoy our cache, we look forward to hearing how you get along. Good luck.

The cache box is small/medium and contains the logbook and pencil it will hold reasonable sized items and travel bugs.
