Geocache Description:

The sixth in a series set out around this lovely English parish.  The walk is just over 3 miles and passes through fields and lanes.  It is suitable for families although there are several stiles - buggies probably not suitable.  Parking in the street near the church.  The route passes through several horse paddocks - the horses ignore you, but please keep the geohounds on a lead through here.


The oddly named Patience Bridge is an old brick bridge built over the Roxwell Brook.  One local theory is that it must try the patience of the local authority, who have had to rebuild it so many times due to vehicle strike!  Being on a bend it is often knocked, so take care here.
Also oddly named are the nearby Pooty Pools, as well as Butt Hatch Farm and Shellow Bowells.  Pooty Pools Farm has been there since at least 1206, when there is a record of a Richard de Pudipol.  

This one is a small green click lock container.  This cache could be treated as a cache and dash, although the whole series is recommended as a circular walk.
