Roman Roads were built in long straight lines and many of them still exist as modern roads today. This cache is placed along the route of an old Roman Road that can be traced from Hythe Quay, Colchester to Mistley Quay, in a more or less straight line of eight miles. It passed through Crockleford Hill, and what are now Cherrytree Farm, Slough Farm, Ardeigh Park, Park Farm, Chancery Farm, Vinces Farm, Old Shields and Badley Hall, continuing through to present day Lawford, Lawford Grange and then straight along Long Road where this cache is placed, through to Mistley Hall Park and the down to the Quay. This has lead to the assumption that a Quay of some sort has existed at Mistley since at least Roman times.
Please use stealth when searching for this cache and replace back carefully exactly as found.
