about Sherlock Holmes in addition to those above. You will need to

The cache is adjacent to a public footpath. A
kissing gate and a stile have to be negotiated and you will usually
find that horses will want to follow you. They are very friendly so
no need to worry. There is a pond close at hand so children should
be watched at all times. There are usually 3 geese around the pond
area. These are also frindly although a little noisy at times.
Please make sure that the cache is well
covered before you leave as there are sometimes dog walking muggles
about.
