Geocache Description:

Each Down Your Wold geocache is placed to help you explore and discover more about the landscape of the Lincolnshire Wolds, inside each one is a heritage card and kids activity for you to take with you. These cards have been lovingly created by the residents of the area. Join us on an adventure to uncover more about the hidden heritage of this fascinating countryside.


This cache is a clip lock box in a camouflage bag with a pencil and a log. It contains information about the former RAF Binbrook station which had the motto of United We Strike, hence the cache name.

Royal Air Force Station Binbrook or RAF Binbrook is a former Royal Air Force station near Brookenby, Lincolnshire, England, that was primarily used by Bomber Command. After the war it was amongst others the home of the Central Fighter Establishment. It also served as base for the last two RAF squadrons to employ the English Electric Lightning between 1965 and 1988.

Down Your Wold is a community heritage project supported by Heritage Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service.

Explore the heritage of the Lincolnshire Wolds by finding our geocaches. Each geocache has a gift for you to take away inside. The gift will help you understand more about the landscape the geocache is hidden in and also had a fun activity for children to do too!

The Lincolnshire Wolds have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) meaning that they are nationally important and form part of Britain’s finest countryside.

Rich in past human activity the Lincolnshire Wolds has an abundance of cultural and archaeological heritage, two factors leading to AONB designation. We hope that our geocaches help you to discover more about the hidden heritage all around us and encourage you to love the Lincolnshire Wolds as much as we do!
