Geocache Description:


This is part of two series of caches set around the borders of the parishes of Old Warden and Southill, Bedfordshire

At each point where a road breaks through the boundary to enter a 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 for Old Warden and The Interior for Southill.

Old Warden parish has a website at https://www.bedsparishes.gov.uk/old-warden-parish-council/. The parish is home to the Shuttleworth Collection which is an aeronautical and automotive museum located at the Old Warden Aerodrome.

Southill parish has a website at https://www.bedsparishes.gov.uk/southill-parish-council/. The parish includes Southill Park, former home of the Byng Family (including the notoriously court-martialled and executed Admiral John Byng, buried in Southill Church) and currently owned by the Whitbread brewing family, having been sold to Samuel Whitbread in 1795.

The full list of caches in the Old Warden series is below.

The full list of caches in the Southill series is below.

We hope you enjoy these series and get a feeling for the varied nature of these parishes.


At this point the B658 enters/leaves the parish. Fortunately there is a lay-by right near this point and the cache is very nearby.
