Geocache Description:

This a multi-stage cache on the main street in Sowerby, a village close to Thirsk but retaining a very different and distinctive character. The total distance to be walked is less than one mile, all on pavements.


Front Street (about 1914)

Front Street (about 1914)


Front Street, Sowerby, is set on a long, wide green with large trees that line the street and dominate the view. The village's fortunes rose during the Georgian period and many of the properties lining the green date from this period, but there are also a few timber framed buildings with late medieval origins. The church of St Oswald has Norman origins. There is also a Methodist church and a pub that serves food.

You will need to go to four waypoints and find some numbers. You will need these numbers to find the location of the cache.

On-street parking is available on Front Street - please park carefully and do not park on the greens.
