Geocache Description:


As part of the celebrations for a momentous occasion, the Makers invite you to an A-Z TOUR OF YORKSHIRE.

There are 27 caches, one for each letter of the alphabet plus a bonus cache, scattered throughout Yorkshire. As you travel to historic, panoramic, beautiful or just plain quirky locations, you will pass through some of the most spectacular areas of the county.

Enjoy your tour of Yorkshire, God’s Own County.

You can find the series in any order. Each cache contains a number you need to keep a note of as adding the first 26 sets of numbers together will give you the co-ordinates for the Bonus Cache, which is GC7JF9A. Heading to that listing page will give you information on the rest of the series.

This cache is placed in a public open space in the part of modern York that was the Colonia in Roman times

The Colonia was the area of Eboracum where the former legionaries who had been granted land at the end of their service settled and there have been roman finds made in this Community Garden. If you walk past St Mary's church, Bishophill Junior, just a few streets away, you can see Roman stone in the fabric of the church.

The cache is placed in an area of the garden near to the street so stealth is advisable. Please retrieve and replace the cache carefully and be respectful of your surroundings, the local community uses this garden. Enjoy your visit to this quieter and less well known area of York.

At the time of hiding the cache contained a few trinkets for swaps and a couple of trackable items for the FTF!

This cache has been placed for the 10th Anniversary UK Mega Event - Yorkshire 2018
