Geocache Description:


Bring Your own pen (and tweezers for some of these caches!


 

 

This series of Geocaches follows the part of the Nar Valley Way from Litcham to East Lexham and links to the Litcham Loop set.

 

The Nar Valley Way is a 33 mile walking route from Gressenhall to Kings' Lynn.

The Nar river rises from springs on the chalk uplands close to the 200-foot (60 m) contour to the south-west of Tittleshall. It initially flows to the east and then to the south to cross under the B1145 Litcham Road to the west of Mileham. Turning to the west, it passes through the south of Litcham and enters a series of lakes at Lexham Hall, where it is joined by Broad Water. Lexham Hall is a large grade I listed mansion, which was built around 1700. During the 2nd World War the estate was occupied by the Royal Army Service Corps. It was bought by William Foster in 1946, who gradually restored it, assisted by the Norwich architect Jim Fletcher-Watson. The gardens are open to the public on selected weekends during the year, although the house is not.

 

Thank you to Mr N Foster and Lexham Hall Estate for permission to place these caches.
