Terling, a pleasant Essex country village with a very pretty
church, its own manor house and a smock windmill. This series of
caches will take you on a walk in and around the village and
includes part of the Essex Way path to the quiet little church at
Fairstead. The walk back through pleasant countryside goes past the
18th century Terling windmill.
Terling can be reached by turning off the A12 at Hatfield
Peverel and is about 2½ miles North West from there.
This is an anti-clockwise circular walk of about 4 miles from
the recommended Parking Co-ordinates at the village hall. The walk
is generally along clearly marked and well maintained footpaths and
consists of ten caches and an optional extra cache. A further
existing cache can be found along the route. The main walk can be
completed in about two hours and incorporates part of the Essex
Way.
Touring Terling caches 2 to 9 contain part of the coordinates
for the Touring Terling Final cache. They are written on the back
of the logbooks.
