Wavvy: This has been a jinxed cache from the start. Muggled twice and it's just gone to the birds! I'm archiving this to open it up for someone else!

Geocache Description:

This is a short walk along Willen Lake with a few clues to answer. The cache can easily be completed within an hour.

The above co-ordinates are for suggested parking. There is space here for a number of cars.

Although the approach is redway, the final hiding position is not.


The site of Willen Mill is now under the waters of the northern Willen Lake. A mill was recorded here in the 1086 Domesday book and it appears that a mill has been recorded on this site over the subsequent centuries.

Willen lake was excavated in the 1970's as part of the new city's water management program. It's construction has allowed the development of a number of facilities. Where the southern lake lake concentrates on leisure both on and off the lake, the northern lakes offers quiet contemplation and reflection. The lake is overlooked by the first Peace Pagoda built in the western hemisphere and Willen Hospice.
