Geocache Description:

This is part of a series of caches set around the border of the parish of Northill, Bedfordshire

At each point where a road breaks through the boundary to enter the parish a cache has been placed. In the log book for each of these caches there is a piece of information which can be used to locate a bonus cache: The Interior.


Northill parish has two websites: one for the Parish Council and a Community Information Web Site. The parish is home to the Ickwell May Day festivities which have been taking place on the green in Ickwell since at least 1565.

The full list of caches in this series is below.

We hope you enjoy this series and get a feeling for the varied nature of this parish.


This cache is the final one in the "Parish Perimeter - Northill" series. By now you should have travelled around collecting a clue from each cache and got a good idea of what the parish is like. Now it's time to travel into the interior of the parish.

The headline co-ordinates mark where the villages of Northill and Ickwell meet. It is NOT where the cache is located. To find it you need to go to the following place. (N.B. coordinate calculations changed 05/06/2020.)

N 52 (Q-K-X)(S+J).(V-S-F+T)((Q/E)-X)(B+S+E)
W 000 (S-E)(F+T).(F-X-E)(V/E)(Q-K-S)
