Cache #23 Green Lane

THIS CACHE CONTAINS PART OF CREETING CIRCULAR #24 BONUS CO-ORDS

Green lanes are of ancient origin; many in East Anglia are from Saxon times. They can often be distinguished from footpaths by the wide spacing between the side hedgerows. They were used for the herding and driving of livestock and for the carting of goods. This particular example is just a short overgrown remnant which is now a footpath. The wide space between the side hedges is still apparent though.
