This seven-day geocaching experience will take you caching by the white cliffs of Dover, Stonehenge, the famous Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in Dorset, along the coast of Devon, and to the southernmost point on mainland UK on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. We return through the historic town of Bath – visiting the roman structures and more.
We will meet at Heathrow Airport and start off the week by visiting the site of the oldest cache in England (GC4E), then caching and sightseeing the icons.
We will learn about the landscapes of England as we go (and yes…we will visit EarthCaches and learn about how the amazing geology and formed the terrains). We will see ruined castles and stately manor homes. We will see pretty seaside villages (and maybe eat in a few local pubs). And (tides permitting), we will get a chance to collect some awesome fossils.
Whilst on the Jurassic Coast, we will explore a series of stunning geological sites that span 185 million years. We will attempt to do some cache runs along the coast (and make sure we have time for good fish and chips, or maybe a sausage roll).
Our journey then continues further westwards into Cornwall – our main destination is the Lizard Peninsula. This is a stunning location with wonderful sea views.
From the Lizard Peninsula, our route takes us to Lands End and then turns eastwards along the north coast of Cornwall to visit some of the isolated ruins of the tin mining industry, an area whose importance in the Industrial Revolution is recognized in its World Heritage Site status.
Just so many opportunities to take in the stunning countryside…and pick up caches along the way!
