Geocache Description:

Nice easy cache with views over to the docks. Free parking is available nearby at the Cemetry. If you come by car via the Toll bridge (this is the only surviving medieval toll in Hampshire) it will cost £1 per day otherwise come for free via Jacobs Gutter Lane.

This is a high muggle area, coming from the left and the right of GZ so please be on the lookout when searching and signing the log

Goatee Beach is situated behind Eling Church with views over Southampton water. It is a haven for wildlife, including flowers, insects and birds. There is a childrens play park and an area for dog walking with waste bins provided.

Eling Church on Eling Hill dates back to Saxon Days, although the original Church would probably have been a wooded structure. There are still small areas of the Norman Church visible, but much restoration work was carried out by Benjamin Ferrey in 1863 to 1865 which covered much of the older building.

The nearby Eling Tide Mill (c. 1785) is a rare example of a working mill still producing flour using only tidal power. The mill is Open 10am – 4pm Wednesday to Sunday and also Bank Holiday Mondays, however as milling is dependent on the Tides the mill will not always be working
