Geocache Description:

Don't forget a pen! - One of my favourite local walks/cross country runs along a 3 mile stretch of disused railway line now known as the Bingham Linear Park.  There are a series of interesting caches of various shapes & sizes that can be picked up along the Linear park including “In the middle”, “Quercus”,  “Viet Cong”, “Huxley’s Hideout” and if you make it as far as the beautiful River Smite you might find “The End Of The Line”.

Built and opened in July 1879 this railway line to Melton Mowbray finally closed in 1964. A station known as Bingham Road together with a Station Master's house was built at a point not far from where the present Linear Walk starts on Nottingham Road; the station house is still there as a private residence. It was at this point that a bridge took the line across Nottingham Road and along an embankment across what is now the Wynhill Estate.
