Geocache Description:

Cache is an easy walk and is located a short distance from the footpath. Continue along the footpath for a short distance and refreshments can be found in a lovely village pub! A lovely, pleasant walk steeped with a little local history - who knows if the myth is true!

Local Myth states that Dick Turpin supposedly rode along this lane on his famous dash to York. (Born September 21, 1705 in Hempstead, Essex – died April 7, 1739 in York). Dick Turpin is a legendary English rogue and the most famous historical highwayman. In life Richard Turpin was a violent man who committed offences such as deer stealing, burglary, highway robbery and probably murder. He was executed in York. After his death, as “Dick” Turpin, he became the subject of legend, romanticised in English ballads and popular theatre of the 18th and 19th century, and later in film and television of the 20th century, as the dashing and heroic highwayman. There is considerable divergence between the history and legend of Turpin.
