Geocache Description:

Devil's Dyke is an Anglo Saxon earthwork that stretches 7 1/2 miles from the Fen edge at Reach across the Chalk Grassland at Newmarket finishing in the wooded clay ridges of Wooditton.

As you follow the trail you will learn more about this interesting monument and the land that surrounds it.

I'd not advise taking buggies due to the changes in elevation and uneven narrow pathways in places, also be aware that in parts the sides do get fairly steep. Oh and bring tweezers!
****

The Dyke Hike a series of 13 Geocaches, originally the plan was to have 20 however the relevant permissions were not attainable for the western 1/3 near Wooditton.

I have accompanied each cache with information on the area, a mix of history and legend.

I do recommend the following podcast which can accompany you on your walk.

I hope you enjoy your walk, happy caching!
