How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

An informative but gentle stroll around historical King's Lynn. This cache takes around an hour and a half and passes many opportunities to have a cup of tea or maybe something a little bit stronger!

This walk takes you around several historical parts of King's Lynn. Although we've lived in King's Lynn for years we only dicovered these parts of King's Lynn when we completed a treasure hunt which the cache is based on.

King's Lynn's history is told by the many green plaques and information boards detailing some fascinating facts...you can always stop and read them to learn more.

Parts of this cache take place along the waterfront aswell as along some main roads which are usually very busy so please take care with young children or pets.

(This is the first cache that we have put out and we would appreciate any feedback that you may have.
Thanks!)

To find the final cache you wil need to travel around King's Lynn using the questions and coordinates below. Whilst local knowledge will help, it isn't vital and make sure you don't ignore GPS!

Suitable car parking is available at the Boal Quay Long Stay Car Park, however this car park is a pay and display.
