    Default Permission denied - Norwich City Walls

    I had planned on doing a series of heritage caches in Norwich, with some based near parts of the old city walls (strictly not within or too close). Just to let you know that sadly permission has been denied, I didn't realise they were classed as Scheduled Ancient Monuments until the response was given though. Here's a quick copy and paste from the letter:

    "I have now consulted with our buildings conservation people, and I need
    to advise that they would not be prepared to authorise a geocache in the
    vicinity of the city walls.

    Although it is appreciated that you intend to avoid locating the
    geocache within the walls themselves, there may be a risk that people
    looking for the cache might, however inadvertently, disturb the fabric
    of the walls, which are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

    I regret that we are unable to grant your request on this occasion."

    It's such a shame, as Norwich has a fair few 'Boom Blocks/towers' in place and old flint city border walls, and we discovered a really beautiful set of towers and occompanying wall not far from ours. It's a real shame we can't share them with others through geocaching...times like this when I wish virtual caches were still allowed
