Waypoint 1: Car
Park
N 51° 42.358
W 000° 25.160
Location Map
This car park in Abbots Langley is free of charge and I've never
seen it full so you shouldn't have any problems parking here. Once
you've parked up, make your way to the second waypoint through the
centre of the village.
Waypoint 2: Parish Church
N 51° 42.445
W 000° 24.993
The parish church is quite a good looking building in my opinion
and sits within a rather nice church yard. These co-ordinates
should take you to a church information board.
The Revd Anna Matthews lives at
A0, Kindersley Way and her
telephone number is
265B29. |

Waypoint 3: War
Memorial
N 51° 42.479
W 000° 24.965
Still within the church grounds, and only a very short walk from
the last location, you'll find the war memorial.
Number C is the number of
Private Bennetts named on the memorial.
Waypoint 4: Garden
N 51° 42.336
W 000° 25.051
Just over the road from my favorite restaurant in Abbots Langley
(Abbots
Tandoori), you will find this very small garden. There isn't
too much to see, though the solitary park bench will probably be a
useful place to sit if you buy a bag of chips from the fish and
chip shop over the road. Stones embedded in the pavement provide a
clue as to when the garden was created (or redeveloped?)...
The year in question is
200D. |

Waypoint 5: Kitters
Green
N 51° 42.232
W 000° 25.180
As you begin to walk down the hill you will come across this
small green on the left of the road. You might notice the unusual
cattle pen that is here - I have no idea what that's about! Also on
the green you will find an oak tree planted to commemorate 100
years of the Abbots Langley Co-operative Womens Guild with a small
plaque next to it indicating this.
The second year on the plaque is
19E3.
Waypoint 6: Playground
N 51° 42.214
W 000° 25.267
This waypoint will take you to a fairly small playground, but no
doubt those who bring young kids along geocaching will find a
reason to stop here for a few minutes :-)
Count the number of seats on the rocking horse - this is number
