Series of 4 caches placed along walks by the River Bain and surrounding Lakes
This is a pleasant peaceful walk along the river, close to the Tattershall Lakes holiday resort and RAF Coningsby. You can watch the wildlife, see those playing on the jet skis on the lakes, or even on a flying day a range of aircraft coming in and out of the RAF station. There are historic sites near by, including free parking (seasonal) at Tattershall Castle. On a wet day it can be a bit muddy so pack those wellies, and this may be difficult pushing a pushchair, but on a dry day this should be ok.
Tattershall is a village in Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, 1 mile east from the point where that road crosses the River WItham. At its eastern end, Tattershall adjoins the village of Coningsby (home of Royal Air Force Coningsby) with the two being separated by the River Bain.
Tattershall has a history dating back to Roman Times. Robert Eudo, in 1201, by means of a present of a well-trained goshawk, obtained from Richard II of England a grant to hold a weekly market here; and his son Robert obtained from Henry III of England a licence to build a castle here, together with a grant of free-warren in all his Demesne lands. Tattershall was a settlement listed in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The 2011 census recorded a Tattershall civil parish population as 2,834, with the combined Tattershall and Coningsby area having a population of 6,698.
Village historic sites include the church of the Holy Trinity, a buttercross, Tattershall Castle, Collegiate College, and Tom Thumb's house and grave.
