Geocache Description:


Sledmere and Fimber was a railway station on the Malton & Driffield Railway. It opened on 19 May 1853, and was sited between the villages of Sledmere and Fimber. The station was named "Fimber" until March 1858, then briefly becoming "Sledmere", until May 1859 when it became "Sledmere and Fimber" until final closure of the line in 1950.

Despite being very remote from both Sledmere and Fimber, the station was the most important on the Malton Driffield Railway Line in terms of traffic and as the closest station to Sledmere house was used by both Queen Victoria and The Queen (As Princess Elizabeth) during visits to Sledmere house.

Park in the small car park next to the log cabin which has kiosk and toilet facilities. The site is very popular with bikers and families with children as there is a play area for them within the woodland.

GPRs reception at this location is not the best, so I'm going to make this as easy as possible. If you want the fun of the search don't look at the hint.
