Geocache Description:

A trip round Long Preston, in the West Riding of Yorkshire

Val is a very dear friend of ours, who is also a Linedancer, and to celebrate her coming the ripe old age of 70 we thought we would place a few caches for her, in the village where she was brought up, and lived for all her teenage years. Her parents used to run the village shop, but it has now been turned into a private dwelling. By the way, she would love to be a cacher, but the pacemaker stops her from walking too far these days. She tells us she has no sense of direction either. She was once an avid walker, and often talks of the walks she did, while living in Long Preston. This is a very picturesque place to live and go to school.

Long Preston is a small village in Craven, North Yorkshire, and boasts a May Pole, two Pubs, a Church, a railway station, and is also the home of the original Rohan travel and outdoor gear shop. The village benefits from several large, tree lined, village greens, with many footpaths leading direct to the surrounding hills. Long Preston has just over three hundred households, and is a friendly community with many residents working in the village, as well as commuting to the neighbouring towns. The annual May Day celebrations are a popular event, with maypole dancing on the village green, and stalls and displays on the village and school playing fields We do hope that you all enjoy you little subjoin round this excellent village. From here you can see the back of the May Pole Inn and the front of Val's old house
