Guidelines for placing caches (general and UK/Ireland)
Before placing your cache you should read the geocaching.com guidelines and the GAGB guidelines to ensure your cache can be placed correctly. Whilst most guidelines are general there are some specific guidelines for the UK which include caches placed in church or railway property, nature reserves and SSSI's and certain owned and maintained land such as the Forestry Commission and National Trust to name but two.
