Geocache Description:

My parents moved very close to here just before my 10th birthday. During my youth I spent many happy hours playing, dog walking and fishing on these marshes. I hope my caches will encourage you to visit and explore this lovely environment.


Park the car at the church then head down the hill, The path at the bottom to your left is Fisher Row, to the right The Queens Highway an old coaching road which is mentioned in Charles Dicken's David Copperfield when it was the route between The Blundeston Plough and the Carlton Crown before Oulton Dyke as cut to join Oulton Broad to the River Waveney.

Fisher Row also had in Roman times a connection to nearby Burgh St.Peter via a ford across the River Waveney. Along this old highway the Roman Cavalry no doubt once trod its way from the Roman Camp at Burgh Castle, near Gt. Yarmouth to Caistor (now Caistor St.Edmunds) near Norwich.

Cache should not prove too difficult to find, please replace as found.
