Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
After seeing many other Alphabetical series, we decided to do our
own for our corner of the county of Buckinghamshire.
The caches all vary, some are bigger than others, but none are
micros and all have room for swaps.
Thornborough is a village and also a civil
parish within Aylesbury Vale. It is located about two
miles east of Buckingham.
The village name, meaning "hill where thorn trees grow",
is Anglo Saxon in origin. It was recorded in
the Domesday Book of 1086 as Torneberge.
The village also has the earthworks of a roman village on its
western border, in between Thornborough Bridge and the main
village. There is a manor house with associated tithe barns in the
centre of the village next to the pond. The village church is one
of very few in Britain to have steel bells.
To the north of the village is the remains of an old windmill and
on the River Ouse are the buildings of what used to be a working
watermill. The disused Buckingham Arm of the Grand Union Canal runs
between Buckingham and Western Milton Keynes to the north of
Thornborough.

lock container so the log should stay nice and dry.
