Rochford has many local byways which formed a historic coaching route, the most well known being lronwell Lane. In the mid 18th century, a stage coach travelled through Ironwell Lane 3 times a week and onto London as this was the main road at that time. Officially known as byway number 11, the lane runs from Rochford through to Hawkwell. The name 'ironwell' derives (not surprisingly!) from 'Iron' and 'Well' due to the fact that there were 2 wells present along this route, 1 of which was known for its hard water.
The cache is just a short walk down Ironwell lane from the main Ashingdon Road. You will need to walk under the railway bridge (No. 785 SSV) and past the little wooden bridge on your left which takes you to the duck ponds and Elizabeth Gardens housing estate.
The cache is a traditional one in a large container with plenty of swappables and a pen so no need to bring your own. Please make sure you hide the cache in exactly the same spot you find it. The cache can be found from 2 different directions both of which are busy routes for dog walkers, cyclists and joggers so watch out for muggles!
