Geocache Description:


SideTracked Day 2025 - Thornton Abbey - 18th Anniversary
I have arranged the event to coincide with the first train of the day to arrive at Thornton Abbey Railway Station, which is the 10.35 arriving at Platform 2

(Just in case anyone wishes to arrive by train)
There is also a beck and a pond nearby, should anyone wish to arrive by boat

There is hardly any parking at the train station, so I am holding the event a short distance away, next to the entrance to Thornton Abbey
Here you will find there are picnic tables and plenty of parking 

It is quite remote so sadly there are no toilets nearby 
The closest ones are probably at Barton Upon Humber




There is also a Virtual Church Micro there 

 

Thornton Abbey railway station was built in 1849
On Sundays (in the Summer) the station is served by four trains per day in each direction between Cleethorpes and Barton Upon Humber

No services call at the station on Sundays during the winter months

I may also be persuaded to bring cake
