This circular walk is approx. 5 miles in length and is generally along clearly marked and well maintained footpaths. It consists of 14 caches and an optional extra bonus cache. 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 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 micro container that contains a log book - Please bring your own pen.
Please replace the Cache exactly as found, so not to spoil the fun for the next Geocachers. Thank You.
When you're ready to move on cross the stile and continue along the footpath beside the stream towards the Waypoint (Bridge), which provides access to the village, or alternatively head for the Bonus Cache. Trail of Two Mills: 15 - Bonus.
If you walk back to the village via the waypoint you will pass the 19th century Great Bardfield cage, a village lock up, which was used for the punishment of unsavoury characters.
