Geocache Description:

Around Alton is an urban offset multi-cache consisting of 8 parts. You will be taken on a tour of the historic market town visiting our chosen locations as you go, but watch out for many other interesting sites along your way. Oh, and don't forget some food for the ducks!


The Coordinates are NOT for the cache location but for a free car park. The terrain is almost entirely flat on paved public footpaths. You should walk no more than 2.5 miles maximum, taking less than 2 hours to find the cache location at normal walking speeds (adjust time accordingly for children or if you visit the shops).

In order to keep this page brief for your own printing purposes, you can get more information from our web site.

Answer the following 7 questions and substitute your answers as indicated to give the 8th and final location of the cache itself. They may be done in any order but the order shown will result in the shortest circular walk:
