Geocache Description:

The co-ordinates take you to the entrance to Hedingham Castle, the cache is near by but you'll need to collect the clues from caches B1-B3 to gve you the real co-ordinates:
nA1 AC.4BC e0 3A.CC1

Cache contains a Geocoin 'King of Geocaching' which belongs to a friend of ours, and it wants to visit castles, so we thought this was an apt start.

This is the final part of the Castle Hedingham De Vere Trail B. Suggested parking is at the Memorial Hall (n51 59.379 e0 35.845).

The De Vere trail is made up of two routes, A & B, which explore the area around Castle Hedingham, once the ancestral seat of the de Veres, Earls of Oxford, and where I grew up. Route A is a set of 5 caches in a circuit around the Colne Valley Railway, a mile long section of track with a fully reconstructed station, signal box, railway yard, and several steam locomotives. Route B is a set of four caches, the last of which is a mystery/puzzle cache, you'll need to visit the first three to solve it. This series revolves around Hedingham Castle, a well preserved Norman keep built in 1140, with four floors including a magnificent banqueting hall and minstrels gallery. The village also has a C12th church, three pubs, two restaurants, and charming tea rooms. We hope you enjoy our first set of caches as much as we enjoyed placing them!
