This is our first geocache and is located in a pleasant spot on the Bridgewater canal overlooking Boothstown Marina. The cache is a nano cache so please bring your own pen.
Originally a quaint village with a handful of cottages, Boothstown was home to the families of miners and 19th century industrialists whose trade relied on the nearby Bridgewater canal. The site of Boothstown marina was formerly a tip, where coal was loaded into barges, and now acts as a stopping off point along the canal. It is one of Salford's most popular moorings for narrowboats. It is a short 30 minute walk along the canal bank from Worsley village, which takes in both the masses of water and green space. Recently redeveloped, the area is a haven for wildlife, fishing and boat enthusiasts alike.
