Leicester Tourist Information: TB-Hotel Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

hasenfreund: The tourist information moved and so have I! I did not manage to retrieve the geocache before I left though - they had not moved it to the new location when I last checked. If anyone who's got this on their watchlist is in the area I would much appreciate if you could collect the box to rescue the TBs! Germany is a long way away, especially these days!

Geocache Description:

A very warm welcome to Leicester's first TB-Hotel!

Thanks to the City Council and the Visit Leicester Information Centre it is now possible to swap TBs in the city centre! This is a very safe place and you won't have to search very long! However, bring some time to have a look around!



There are a couple of things you need to be aware of when searching for this geocache:

Location: The geocache is located inside. Important: LOOK AT THE HINT. Please take your time in here, have a look around and discover how wonderful and interesting Leicester is! Also, behave appropriately - it is due to the kindness of the staff working here that it was possible to place this geocache. I would be very disappointed if geocachers would not appreciate this fact.

Opening hours: As this geocache is placed inside the Visit Leicester Information Centre opening hours apply:

Monday to Friday: 10.30am – 4.30pm 
Saturday: 9.30am – 4.30pm
Sunday and Bank Holidays: 11.00am - 4.00pm (closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day)

Logging this geocache: Please be aware that this is a tourist information - it would therefore be appropriate to take the container into a quiet corner in order to log it without disturbing members of staff or visitors!

TB-Hotel: Drop your TBs in here! It's a safe place for them to stay and hopefully visitors from all over the country will visit this place! Please do not leave any other items in the box, this is for our travelling friends only (coins and tbs).


The City of Leicester 

By now everyone should be aware of the spectacular discovery and reinterment of King Richard III in Leicester. But Leicester has much more to offer! From the Iron Age onwards humans settled in this area. The Jewry Wall is the most impressive piece of archaeology left behind by the Romans, while the Saxons and Vikings were especially active in the Highcross area. Leicester's castle is evidence of Norman and Medieval Leicester and believe me - there is so much more to discover!
THIS is the perfect place to start, no matter whether you are visiting from elsewhere or are from the local area! Leicester is filled with history and I am encouraging every single one of you to go and discover what it holds for you! Grab some information and off you go - it's worth it!!!
