The cache is located within Leyland’s Worden Park Hedge Maze. This attraction is well worth a visit, and as well as finding the cache, there is also the additional kudos of getting to the Maze centre itself.
Navigating the maze can take some time, so don’t attempt if your time is restricted!
Hint; you might want to have a camera/phone to hand, as there is a plaque with a plan and solution diagram at the entrance!
ALSO: As the cache (a large Nano) holds a log which is a strip of ‘Aquaskin’ waterproof paper you will need A BALLPOINT pen to sign, as it does not like pencils.
And now, some words of wisdom to help you in the hunt… If after some time you start to feel you are going round the bend and just not getting anywhere, keep your chin up, turn your face to the rising sun, and smile. Look beyond the hornbeam, and raise your cap to a new dawn. If you cannot see it with your own eyes, you will certainly feel the thrill of the hunt. Good Luck!

Hedge Maze - This historic feature is open to the public at all times and is one of very few such mazes which is free of charge to explore. Due to the age of the maze, visitors are asked to take care not to damage the ancient hedging and young children must be supervised at all times.
The maze was designed for the ffarington family by William Andrews Nesfield as part of the formal gardens and is now around 150 years old. Worden Park maze is very similar to the maze at Somerleyton Hall in Suffolk, also designed by William Andrew Nesfield, although there are some differences. The maze at Worden is planted with hornbeam and has a lime tree at its centre while the Somerleyton maze is planted of yew and has a pagoda at the centre. Worden's maze also has the extra feature of having two entrances, one being the real entrance and the other being a fool's or false entrance leading only to dead ends in either direction.
