As part of the celebrations for a momentous occasion, the Makers invite you to an A-Z TOUR OF YORKSHIRE.
There are 27 caches, one for each letter of the alphabet plus a bonus cache, scattered throughout Yorkshire. As you travel to historic, panoramic, beautiful or just plain quirky locations, you will pass through some of the most spectacular areas of the county.
Enjoy your tour of Yorkshire, God’s Own County.
You can find the series in any order. Each cache contains a number you need to keep a note of as adding the first 26 sets of numbers together will give you the co-ordinates for the Bonus Cache, which is GC7JF9A. Heading to that listing page will give you information on the rest of the series.
This cache is placed at Leconfield.
Leconfield is a small village to the north of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire. During the second world war the air base was used by both fighter and bomber command at different times, and until recently the rescue helicopter also flew from there. In more recent times the base has been taken over and currently houses the defence school of transport.
In the past there was a castle which was the main seat of the Percy Family from the 14th century. The castle was, however, abandoned in the late 16th century and only the moat now remains.
The village church, St Catherine is designated a grade I listed building.
This cache has been placed for the 10th Anniversary UK Mega Event - Yorkshire 2018
