Welcome to Chedworth (VS) cache
Village Signs (VS) is a series of caches based on the ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (normally on the village green!).
The village of Chedworth is probably more famous for the nearby Roman Villa though this is actually closer to the village of Yanworth than Chedworth. The village use to have three distinctive settlements Upper, Middle and Lower Chedworth but have since merged through the infilling of cotswold stone housing . Chedworth was once served by a railway the station was located a short walk away from the village sign. There were no shops in Chedworth from 1993 until 2006 when a Farm Shop opened.
Chedworth's village sign is located near to the village hall which is ideal for parking while doing this cache .
There are two ways to the final cache one includes crossing a few stiles and will bring you close to horses the other is to walk along the road, it could be possible to drive to the final cache as there is a small area that could be used as a pull in very close to the cache. .

About Village Sign Caches

This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
