Geocache Description:

Pewley Down is an area chalk downland on high ground to the east of Guidlford town centre. There are outstanding views to the south and over Chantry Wood.


The stark contrast between the Guildford town and suburbs to the North and West compared to the wonderful rural landscape seen from Pewley Down always impresses.

The area was given to Guildford by the Guildford Friary Brewery after 1918 for enjoyment as an open space.

On the (steep) road up Pewley Hill you will pass the oddly shaped Semaphore House built in 1821 which was part of the semaphore telegraph line from Portsmouth to Whitehall. Just after Semophore House is an underground reservoir. Park up next to this on a clear day and you will get a great view of the London skyline.

This should be the first of a few no-nonsense traditionals I hope to set over the coming months.

A tiny amount of bushwacking is required - well it might deter muggles. I suggest an entry point a few yards to the West of the cache.
