Pewley Down is a beautiful area of chalk grassland. It was given to the people of Guildford at the end of the Great War by The Friary Brewery. The area is a Nature Reserve and is an important site for butterflies and other invertebrates.
The steep lower bank, at the southern end of the Down, has been fenced off to form a paddock for the "Pewley Cattle" that can sometimes be seen grazing here. These three Highland cows (Thisbie, Fiona and Yak) have been introduced to reduce the height and density of the grass sward and to help control invasive scrub.

Final cache
The final cache is at
N51 13.(D-E)(A+C-D)(C+F)

The original cache was a small tin containing:
A Ship Ha'penny
A Foreign Coin
A Bottle Opener
A Bottle Top
The replacement cache is a 140 ml plastic clip top container, and is hidden close to where the original cache from 1947 was. You will find it covered by some rocks and sticks. Please make sure it can't be seen when you leave.
If you can find the original then you are a better searcher than me!
