Geocache Description:

Follow Blackpool Civic Trust's Stanley Park Heritage Trail picking up clues as you go to find the final cache location.

It's about a 1.5 mile walk and will take about an hour to complete. It's perfected suited for pushchairs and all but the final cache location shouldn't be too much of a problem for wheelchairs.


The cache isn't at the published coordinates - you must solve the puzzle below to work them out! Make sure you read the listing fully before setting off otherwise you might forget one of the questions!

In 1995 Stanley Park was placed on the national register of historic parks and gardens (Grade II*) - indicating that it is of 'great historic significance'. Well it was the place where The Jones' courted so it must be significant!

You can park at the Visitors Centre or on sections of it's approach road - it will be very busy on weekends and summer days. Pick up a leaflet from the Visitors Centre, it has loads of interesting information (opening times are: April to Oct: Wed till Sun 9am - 5pm, Nov to Mar: Sat & Sun only, 9am - 4pm).
We have reproduced their map below:-

Along the trail you will see a number of marker plaques designed by local school children either on top of a wooden marker post or on a wall (positions shown on the map above) and a number of information signs put up by the council. We haven't given co-ords for any of these - you have to find them! If you are really stuck log a DNF and email us for help!

At the time the cache was published plaque number 8 was missing - it isn't needed for this cache

Note the questions aren't in order so make sure you read them carefully as you walk around otherwise you'll end up backtracking!
