Benmore Gardens in the suburb of Harewood, Christchurch

Benmore Gardens in Harewood – Named because it is a family name belonging to Mr and Mrs Macleod. The Macleods are shareholders in Nunweek Estates, developers of this subdivision. Their ancestral home is in the Isle of Skye. Developed off 547 Harewood Road. Named in 1999.

A small amount of information from the library website. Benmore in Scotland is nowhere near Skye.

This street is a tree lined street with a footpath on only one side of the street. The houses here were built in 2000s and they are large modern houses. There is an entrance to the Benmore playground / reserve and it is a lovely wee park but I didn’t manage to find the geocache that is supposed to be hidden here.
