Geocache Description:

Another in the series celebrating that great British icon – the red phone box.

Archaeological evidence of Wormshill's existence predates its appearance in the Domesday survey of 1086. The village contains a number of heritage-listed buildings, which include a Norman church, a public house and one of the oldest surviving post office buildings in the United Kingdom. The fields and woodland surrounding Wormshill have changed little in the past 500 years, and the village itself remains rural with a low population density compared to the national average. The population of 200 is a mixture of agricultural workers employed by local farms and professional residents who commute to nearby towns.

The cache is a magnetic micro and only contains a logbook, so please take your own pen. Please ensure you reposition the cache carefully where you found it to ensure it's available to the next visitor.

If anybody would like to expand this series, please do. All we would ask is that you let the Balancing Walcheros know first so that they can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication, and include a variation of this sentence in your cache description asking cachers to contact them.
