From this area you will have a
fine view of Wadenhoe Mill, which is now a private house. It is
thought to be built on the site of an older mill mentioned in the
Domesday Book (1086 AD) and it once supplied flour to as far away
as Leicester.
The cache itself is a very short walk away and is a full-sized ammo
box and so has plenty of room for larger swaps and Travel Bugs.
The route to the cache is pretty level, but can get a little muddy
in wet weather and takes you close to the river, so please be extra
careful if you have children with you.
The route should be OK for pushchairs, although
may be a struggle in wet weather, but is unfortunately not suitable
for wheelchair users mainly due to the narrow bridge over the
river.
For those wanting a longer
walk, the footpath continues on to the village of Achurch, or park
at the co-ordinates below if you want to explore the other end of
the village, including the church and Millennium Sundial. This car
park is situated at the far end of Church Street, a couple of
hundred yards past the King's Head pub.
