Geocache Description:


Downham Market Meander

** I understand that the plaque is missing on the Salvation Army building - the answer is Library **

Downham Market is a market town and civil parish in Norfolk, England, lying on the edge of the Fens, on the River Great Ouse, approximately 11 miles south of King's Lynn. It was an agricultural centre, developing as a market for the produce of the Fens. During the Middle Ages, it held a large weekly butter market and also hosted a notable annual horse fair. Notable buildings in the town include its medieval parish church, dedicated to St Edmund, and Victorian clock tower, constructed in 1878. The town is also known as the place where Charles I hid after the Battle of Naseby.

This Wherigo will take you to 10 locations in Downham Market where you need to answer a simple question at each. Having answered 8 of the questions correctly the location of the cache will be revealed, you can then either skip the remaining locations or visit them anyway. With the exception of St Edmunds, the zones in this cache are on the level, but it will take about an hour to visit them all and find the cache - thus the terrain rating. The whole walk is on pavements so it would be possible in a wheelchair (including retrieving the cache).

You will need to cross a number of roads while walking this Wherigo, please be aware particularly if you have children or animals with you.
