About SideTracked

We have Motorway Mayhem. We have A-Road Anarchy (cos there aren’t many motorways in Wales!). But what about public transport users? SideTracked Caches are intended to provide quick cache-and-dashes at train stations. They should be placed where it will not cause alarm, as in this day and age, public transport is under greater scrutiny than ever before.

For more information on SideTracked Caches, please visit the
SideTracked website.

Local information

Tackley is a large village about 10m north of Oxford just off the A4260 road from Kidlington to Banbury, with the Oxford canal close by. With a station on the Oxford to Banbury line it enjoys the benefits expected of a country village including a magnificent church, St Nicholas, which has been there since Saxon times, set in a landscape which appears unchanged for hundreds of years. The village hall & shop is a registered charity and run for the benefit of the village. Go on, stop for a coffee and a sandwich?

Why not visit this little known location and maybe sit on the village green with a lovely old oak tree which forms the centre of the village. Nearby is the town of Woodstock, famed for Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Marlborough, birthplace of Winston Churchill.

For more information visit the Tackley website.

The station has two platforms with a shelter on each but no ticket office.

Cache information

This is a cache and dash as there is parking very close to the cache but this is a residential area, so please park with consideration to the locals.

You are looking for a 35mm film case.
