The walk is generally along clearly marked and well maintained footpaths. The main walk can be completed in about two hours, or if you're like us and have small children, then maybe four!
Great Bardfield and Finchingfield are peaceful North Essex country villages, both with Windmills. This series of caches will take you from Great Bardfield, which was mentioned in The Domesday Book of 1086, marking the beginning of the village's recorded history. It was well established in the time of the Anglo-Saxons, who gave it the name Bardefelda, which is thought to mean 'open land colonised by dependent peasants'.
About half way around this short walk you will discover the picturesque village of Finchingfield, where you can rest a while and enjoy the view.
Some of the caches contain part of the coordinates for the Trail of Two Mills Bonus Cache. The codes you need are written on the back of the logbooks.
The Series:
You're looking for a small clip-top container that contains some swaps, pencil and log book.
Please replace the Cache as found, so not to spoil the fun for the next Geocachers. Thank You.
When you are ready to move on, continue along the footpath to the lane. Turn left and follow the road for a short distance until you reach the Finger Post pointing up the hill to your right. The next Cache is Trail of Two Mills: 5 – Up the Hill.
