Geocache Description:


This is one of a line of 21 surviving milestones along the former Norwich to Thetford turnpike, created in its entirety in 1766 and lasting until 1870. More details on this milestone can be found on the Norfolk Heritage Explorer. If possible I will try and place caches near as many of these milestones as possible, although as I know a few are beside the main A11 I may have to get inventive to make the caches accessible!


The given coordinates are for the milestone, but the cache is not there (due to proximity of other caches). Solve the Puzzle via the link below to obtain the final coordinates. It is suggested that you create an account on the puzzle page if you haven't already, to avoid losing any progress.

PLEASE NOTE:- The position of the final cache was changed on 9th March 2019 due to building works near the original GZ. If you solved the puzzle before then you will need to re-do the puzzle to get the updated coordinates!
