Chiltern Sculpture Trail

This Cache was planted by Dan, Pid and Anna on Tuesday 8th July 2002. Set in the lovely Cowleaze Wood owned by the Forestry Commission. After over 20 years of custodianship it was proudly adopted by mykey987 on 22nd August 2022. Here's to the next 20 years!

"My Dad used to bring me here when I was younger. I remember how big all the sculptures were back then. Be sure to check out nearby Christmas Common. A few nice pubs are here as well as some lovely scenery, and amazing Chiltern views."

Good luck!

Whilst the trail is long gone you can still take a virtual journey back in time thanks to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
