Geocache Description:


Welcome to Free The Saxilby Six - our series of 6 caches plus an additional bonus cache, which will take you round the lovely village of Saxilby.

Saxilby is a large village (population 3660) in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, about six miles north-west of Lincoln, on the A57 road at the junction of the B1241. It is part of the civil parish of Saxilby and Ingleby, along with the nearby village of Ingleby.

The village lies on the north bank of the Fossdyke Navigation which was built by the Romans and there are remains of a Roman camp just outside the village. The name is of Viking origin, Saksulfr+by, or "farmstead of a man called Saksulfr" and it appears as "Saxebi" in the Domesday Book (1086). It has a 12th century church (Saint Botolph's) and buildings from the 15th (Saxilby Old Hall) and 16th (manor house) centuries. In archived documents, the village is often referred to as Saxelby, with the current spelling of Saxilby only being found in common use from the late 19th century onwards.

Cache number one is a drive-by, which is also easily accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

Please note you will need to make a note of the number in each of the six caches, as these will tell you the co-ordinates for the Bonus cache.
