Geocache Description:

Leighton-Linslade is a parish made up of two townships. Leighton Buzzard itself is well known as a quarry town (as well as having a "Gossards" factory and a large fork-lift truck manufacturers). Linslade itself is mainly residential. Many of the caches cover what is now regarded as "Old Linslade" which is where a lot of the original village stood.


Leighton-Linslade Coat of Arms

Before being brought together under a single Town Council, Linslade was in Buckinghamshire and Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. An urban series of caches celebrating the history of Leighton-Linslade will be published soon.

The Leighton-Linslade Trail is an approximately 6 mile circular walk. Some parts of may can be done as a "cache-n-dash" and others can be picked off as mini-walks. Either way, it's up to you how you play the game!

The walk involves urban and rural walks, canals and fields. Children should be kept on leads and dogs and other family will (at many points) need to be watched carefully. Like all caches, there are dangers and pitfalls that may need to be addressed. None of these caches are in dangerous places (hopefully) although some are near water (not too near!)

Hello! My name is Connor and I am 9


This is a nice easy cache in some trees near the River Ouzel.

We took our dog, Phoebe, here for a nice walk. Phoebe rolled in some cow muck and got very dirty so be careful. When we got back we had to hose her down and she didn't like that.

It was a struggle trying to find somewhere to put this cache (as you'll find out!) but in the end we found a nice hiding place.

I am a sporty person and I like walking, riding my bike and swimming. I also like geocaching with my family so I asked my dad if I could place one. My dad helped me a little bit and took the coordinates for me and it was great fun. I hope you enjoy my cache. You are looking for a small locking box with a log book, pen and small items.
