A group of cachers have gathered together to place caches along The Hertfordshire Way; a 194 mile circular route along public rights-of-way within the County of Hertfordshire. Rather than caches at every 0.1 mile we have tried to put together interesting hides.
Leg 4 stretches from Codicote to St. Albans for 12.6 miles. We advise that you bring sturdy boots for very muddy terrain and a high visibility vest with you because a couple of short sections require walking along the road.
Cache Details
Codicote Village Sign
Although this is a linear walk, you can find parking for your trip near to GZ. This is a busy area and sadly, the original cache was muggled before its FTF, so the replacement is placed a little way from the sign but do take the opportunity to take a look at it on the way past and to read some of the many, interesting information boards and heritage plaques on the green,
To the Next Cache
From the village sign itself, take the right hand fork - along the St Albans Road. In about 250 yards, take the (not very obvious!) footpath on the right, between houses. There is a 'Herts Way' sticker on the nearby lamp post - keep your eyes peeled!
About Village Sign Caches

This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website
If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
