Geocache Description:

Nano cache and dash on the A1 at Great Ponton.

Accessible from both sides of the road. South-bound parking is available at the Pub, north-bound parking is available off Heath Lane. It is possible to drive across the A1 using the gaps provided, however this is a very busy, fast road so please be extremely careful.

Take care when replacing the cache as it could be easily lost.

Great Ponton is a small village to the south of Grantham whose history traces back to Roman times.

Various Roman relics and coins have been found during building work, with the village lying to the west of Ermine Street (running from London to York).

Holy Cross Church, built in 1519 by Anthony Ellys, joins the 13th and 14th century architecture of the earlier church. The golden violin weather vane on the church was given by a 17th century fiddler. He used to play music for villagers who helped him collect his fare to start a new life in America. Having made his fortune in the New World, he showed his appreciation to the people of Great Ponton by donating a gold violin weather vane.

The East Coast mainline railway runs to the east of the village, Great Ponton Station having closed in 1959.
