Geocache Description:

A Multi - stage cache that will take you on a walk around the village of Little Houghton.
You must collect information from each waypoint to allow you to plot the co-ordinates for the final cache.






Church of St Mary the Virgin, Little Houghton


There is roadside parking throughout the village, please park responsibly.
You can visit the waypoints in any order you like, I would recommend finishing with LI the Footpath as this is also the trailhead for the walk to the final cache.
Little Houghton is indeed little so it should only take half an hour or so to collect the info. Give yourself the same again for the final cache.

The start co-ordinates take you to the first question to answer.
