Geocache Description:

An unusual hidden cache container holding a micro log only, you will need a pen and a good pair of eyes! Please note how this cache is placed before you remove it so it can be replaced exactly as you found it.

The cache is cleverly placed along a public footpath between North Wootton and Castle rising. If you continue along the footpath past the cache, which is a sea of blubells in the spring, it leads to the beautiful village of Castle rising which boasts one of the finest and best preserved Norman castle in the country. Here, in the 14th century, Queen Isabella spent her time in exile, with many royals and noble guests visiting her. Castle Rising also minted its own coins struck during the the reign of King Stephen in 1138-1145 during the period known as the anarchy, disputes between Stephen and Matilda as to who should take the Crown.

The other great attraction in the village is the famous Trinity Hospital founded by the Earl of Northampton in 1614. Local legend suggest that there was an ancient port here before that of King's Lynn. It was possibly shared by the now deserted medieval village of Babingley with its ruined church of St. Felix its few surviving building. Babingley is the suggested landing place of St Felix from where the Saxons spread the word of Christianity to the East Angles (East Anglia) in approximately 630 A.D.
