Geocache Description:

A relativly easy cache , mainly enabling you to enjoy the Mill and picnic area with view of the river.Beware of Mozzies !


This cache should only be completed between the hours of 9am and 7pm as the parking is only open between these times .

This cache is placed near to the site of Bromham Mill in a 1.5l clip lock box  , the above co-ordinates are for parking and the first clue to find the cache.

But first a bit of history about the mill :

There has been a mill on this site since before the doomsday survey in 1086. For centuries, the enormous wheel was turned only by the water of the River Great Ouse . In the 1920's a steam engine was installed to provide extra power but by then, Water Mill technology had become obsolete. It has since been renovated and visitors can once again watch flour milling at close quarters.

At the moment the actual mill is only open on Sundays and bank holidays for you to look around, check the website for more information. You can still park here everyday between  9am and 7pm.

On to the Cache ….

After parking , locate the information sign entitled “ Bromham Heritage Trail”

On this sign you should be able to find when the St Owens Church building dates from : ABth Century .

Next a short walk over to N52 08.768 W000 31.446 and find the old style telephone number (02C3) 6D46E1

The last clues are  at N52 08.775 W000 31.599 where you  need to count the number of concrete slats under your feet for (answer F) and the missing single digit number in the sequence of numbers on the green plaque (answer G) and finally the single number on the white disc for (answer H )

Final Cache at   North 52 0G.GBF WEST 000 FH.CED

The route is through the woods and satellite lock was all over the place , but they are narrow enough for you to get to the edge to get a lock then proceed from there. Route is also ok for buggies , just  need to lift over a log or two !

Cover yourself in insect repellent, Water and woodlands make for lots of biting insects  !

Honours goto Dragontree for FTF.
