Hereward Way - The Marina #31
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This is the 31st of a series of caches on the Hereward Way which is a walking route across the Fens from Oakham to Thetford.
This section runs from Church Cottages past West Fen farm and the potato processing plant, through to the Marina on the outskirts of March.
From the last Cache go through the gate and turn left away from the bank then all the way around edge of the Marina.
After this Cache, following the footpath around the Marina, there are the Riverside March and the March Wander Caches which continue on the Hereward Way.
The Hereward Way starts in the rolling landscape of Rutland, amid grass fields and stone villages. This part of the route through to March is through the flat fen countryside and beside delightful waterways, and is an area of peaceful beauty and hidden surprises.
The choice of Hereward Way as the title of this long distance walk, comes from the association of Hereward the Wake with the area. It would appear from some of the documented sources of information that Hereward the Wake spent some time visiting the cathedrals and other establishments in the area "obtaining" funds for his various enterprises, mostly it appears providing a mercenary service. Little is recorded of his life, and much written may well be based on legend. The original concept of the Hereward Way was to act both as a new recreational facility with convenient circular walks based on the route, and more important, a focal point to create more access in the countryside in an area that is sparsely served. Except for a few notable exceptions still to be negotiated, concept has been very successful.
