A group of cachers have gathered together to place caches along The Hertfordshire Way; a 194 mile circular route along public rights-of-way within the County of Hertfordshire. Rather than caches at every 0.1 mile we have tried to put together interesting hides with cool Bonus Caches.
Leg 3 stretches from Willian to Codicote for 11.8 miles. As you walk the path collect the information you need to find the Bonus Cache at waypoints along the route. We advise that you bring sturdy boots for very muddy terrain and a high visibility vest with you because a couple of short sections require walking along the road.

Cache Details
Despite its name, Little Wymondley is larger than its neighbour Great Wymondley and boasts several interesting houses, including the moated 16th century Bury, the fine 17th century Hall, late Georgian Wymondley House, and Wymondley Priory, an early 13th century foundation which was converted into a house in the 16th century. The A602 bypass around Little Wymondley was built in 1992.
Parking for this cache can be found by the hard-court sports facility near the water tower in Little Wymondley. This cache is NOT accessible from the A602.
Walk past the tower and beyond the football pitch towards the A602. Before reaching the dual carriageway, stop to search for the cache.
Bonus Waypoints
The following Bonus Cache waypoints can be found close to this cache and en route to the next cache.
BonusE - N51 55.725 W000 14.077 - Note the water tower's three-digit reference number as BonusE.
To the Next Cache
We do NOT recommend attempting to cross the very busy and fast A602 dual carriageway; despite the Hertfordshire Way official path continuing in this direction. There is no safe alternative walking route to cross the A602, so we recommend breaking the walk at this point. Pick it up again in Titmore Green on the other side of the A602.
Other Caches On The Way
The Hertfordshire Way already has plenty of caches hidden along, or close to, its paths. The following can be found between this cache and the next one in the series (assuming you will be driving):
- Pedal Power 2: Hotel Amenities (GC11JMZ) 2/1.5 Mystery by Baldy_Bazzer
- Church Micro 653: Little Wymondley, St Mary (GC1QYYG) 2/1.5 Traditional by bill&ben
- Pedal Power 3: Kiddie Cache (GC11JN7) 1/1.5 Traditional by Baldy_Bazzer
There are even more caches in the area, but those listed above should not be too much of a diversion (if any) from the main trail. All caches on, or close to, Leg 3 of the Hertfordshire Way can be found on this bookmark list.
