This is a moderate walk that goes between the Pucklechurch to Hinton road across a footbridge over the M4 motorway to Codrington. Because there are stiles to negotiate, it is not wheelchair or buggy friendly. Other caches along this stretch are Monarch Way #10, #12, #13 and #14. Distance from the Hinton road to Codrington is 1.5 miles (as the crow flies!). THERE IS A LARGE PLOUGHED FIELD TO CROSS BETWEEN #12 AND #13, SO IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT #10, #11 AND #12 ARE DONE FROM HINTON PARKING AND #13 & #14 ARE DONE FROM CODRINGTON PARKING. Monarch Way is the 610 mile route used by King Charles II after the Battle of Worcester in 1651 when he was pursued by the Parliamentary forces under Oliver Cromwell. Charles first travelled north, where he hid in the famous oak tree at Boscobel. He then travelled south through the Cotswolds and the Mendips to the South Coast at Charmouth, and finally along the South Downs to Shoreham from where he made his escape to France. Codrington is a Hamlet situated alongside the B4465. It is in the Parish of Wapley-cum-Codrington in the hundred of Grumbald's Ash. The Codrington Arms is linked to the Codrington Family who were based at Codrington Court before moving to nearby Dodington Park. Cotswold Spring Brewery is situated east of the village. Both villages have pubs that serve real ales and nice food if you need refreshing after your stroll. Enjoy the stroll, and happy hunting!
