The cache is not at the listed coordinates! You will need to play a Wherigo cartridge to find this cache. This cache has been published with permission from the Sheffield Botanical Gardens Trust. Many thanks to them and to marky1981 and SimeyBop who have tested the cartridge for me!
Please note that this Wherigo cartridge can only be played while the Botanical Gardens are open. Opening times vary throughout the year, details of which can be found at the Botanical Gardens website by clicking here. It is recommended that a smartphone app is used to play this cartridge. Any feedback about the cartridge from GPS device users is greatly appreciated. Please get in contact through my profile if this is your first Wherigo and you require help.

The Riddle Trail
In 1833 the Sheffield Botanical and Horticultural Society was formed to promote both healthy recreation and self-education, through the development of a botanical garden. A period of fundraising followed and the land was purchased. In 1834, the Society appointed Robert Marnock, gardener of Bretton Hall, Wakefield (now the Yorkshire Sculpture Park), to design the Gardens and act as their first Curator.
In 2005 the gardens underwent a major renovation and Berlie Doherty, pictured, was invited to create a riddle trail through the medium of poetry, in collaboration with local artists. It is that riddle trail that will be followed. Berlie will show you where the geocache is hidden once you have solved all the riddles! Click here to download the Wherigo cartridge to get started.
It is recommended that you take a map of the gardens along with you, and I would strongly recommend glancing at it before you start too! It might help you solve some riddles. There is a large map on an information board near each entrance you can refer to (or photograph for reference). Finally, you can view an online interactive map of the gardens, to view or print at home:
You'll likely see a number of squirrels in the park, and they're quite tame. As an optional extra logging requirement, try to get a photo of/with one!
The cache is a small container hidden outside the gardens. This means that while the game can only be played while the gardens are open, the cache can be physically located at any time. A hint will be given by the cartridge when you have completed the trail. Good luck!
