Pleshey is a village filled with history that goes back to the days of the Domesday Book.
The original castle was built in Norman times and rebuilt in the latter half of the 12th century. The castle fell into ruin in the 15th century and most of the materials in the castle were reused for building elsewhere.
The cache is located in a popular spot and at peak times can be tricky to avoid muggles. Take care of the water - you shouldn't need to be too close here to find the cache!
You are welcome to find this cache as a standalone, or if you prefer a long walk, you are invited to have a stroll through the local countryside taking in the
Church Micro cache up the road and the
Pleshey Ring which will take you 10 miles round the village and along part of the Essex Way.
Happy caching!
