The "Englemere Pond" Geocache is hidden a short distance from a seat overlooking Englemere Pond. Please hide it again well, on the ground, in rhodos, at the base of a tree. This is the same spot as the first one was planted in October 2001 :-)
This location is certainly not in the same league as
Hampton Court
or
Virginia Water
Royal Lake,
but it's a pleasant enough little patch of wilderness.
Hundreds of years ago it will have been part of the
hunting parks used by Kings staying in
Windsor Castle
I understand from June's dad, Jack Ponsford, who is
now 90 and featured on our
Sunninghill page, that Englemere Pond was
once full of large carp. I guess the pond was
much larger once, since much of it is now reed beds.
Free Parking is available at
N 51° 24.468' W 000° 42.311'
which is between the Golf Driving Range
and the railway bridge on the B3017,
joining A329 and A332 just west of Ascot.
Note that the entrance is limited to
vehicles less than 6'6" high, so
camper vans will have a problem
- maybe solved by membership of the Golf Club ? :-)
When you enter the small car park you will
see picnic tables and a sign - which may be
worth a read, since it provides information
about this wildlife conservation area.
