Discovered palindrome waymarks by chance while browsing categories. Thought I'd give it a go.
A coordinate palindrome just off a public footpath to Piper Wood, Shepshed, Leicestershire.
This is in the middle of a field. PLEASE don't go stomping all over the farmers crops. I was fortunate enough to be able to follow the tracks left by the tractor.
There are a number of geocaches in the area too. The Piper Trail series.
The deer park at SHEPSHED is first recorded in 1339, when it contained "underwood worth 2 shillings" (10p). It probably occupied what is now OAKLEY WOOD and is referred to in 1480 as OAKLEY PARK. This was the last mention of the park and details the granting of custody of OAKLEY PARK to "various persons". The only remaining traces of the Park are OAKLEY WOOD and possibly PIPER WOOD
