Geocache Description:

A circular series of mainly novelty caches around the villages of Buxhall & Great Finborough.


Great Finborough is a rural village in Suffolk, England about 3 miles from Stowmarket. Great Finborough's name is thought to have derived either from Magna Fynbarow - being a barrow (burial mound) in the fens - or as Hollingsworth has in his 'History of Stowmarket' ; Finebg or fineborga, with the Saxon meaning of Fenn as a marsh and Burgh or Borg as a small town, ie. the town of the Fen, or Fentown.

 

Buxhall - The unspoilt rural village is a mix of old properties, many thatched, and contemporary houses inhabited by long standing residents and a variety of welcome newcomers. At the beginning of the twentieth century Buxhall was virtually self sufficient with an agricultural economy.

 

The series will take you on a walk through the villages of Great Finborough & Buxhall, which will include crossing stiles, crossing farmers fields, fields occupied by horses (please keep dogs on leads), meadow land walking along country lanes and a golf course.

The Series comprises of 25 caches, included 3 Church Micros. Along the route you will pass other 5 caches and in the village of Great Finborough, you will find a handful more.
