Geocache Description:

Leighton-Linslade is a parish made up of two townships. Leighton Buzzard itself is well known as a quarry town (as well as having a "Gossards" factory and a large fork-lift truck manufacturers). Linslade itself is mainly residential. Many of the caches cover what is now regarded as "Old Linslade" which is where a lot of the original village stood.


If you wish to do this as a trail here's how I did it! and here's the list of caches!

Leighton-Linslade Coat of Arms

Before being brought together under a single Town Council, Linslade was in Buckinghamshire and Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. An urban series of caches celebrating the history of Leighton-Linslade will be published soon.

The Leighton-Linslade Trail is an approximately 6 mile circular walk. Some parts of may can be done as a "cache-n-dash" and others can be picked off as mini-walks. Either way, it's up to you how you play the game!

The walk involves urban and rural walks, canals and fields. Children should be kept on leads and dogs and other family will (at many points) need to be watched carefully. Like all caches, there are dangers and pitfalls that may need to be addressed. None of these caches are in dangerous places (hopefully) although some are near water (not too near!)

The Grand Union Canal links Birmingham to London with a waterway which is 145 miles long and contains 166 locks. This cache is one of a series to be found along or close to the Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire stretch of the canal.

This cache has been placed at Lock 27. The old lock cottage has now been turned into residential houses. Please feel free to take a seat and watch the world go by.

This cache is a NANO. It is a small round magnetic cache with a small piece of paper. Please can you put your initials and date rather than your full team name. I ask this because 2 of my other nanos require the paper replacing after just 6 days!


If you live in the area, please consider coming to our Geocaching event which will be held very close to this cache
