It's called Geocache Breaks Series No 1. Set in Christchurch, Dorset, it takes you on a quick tour of some of the fascinating historical spots in the high street and surrounds.
This geocache is the first in a series which identifies bed and breakfast venues, where you are guaranteed a comfortable night's stay and a breakfast second to none. The kicker is that geocaches surround these places so you are able to find at least five caches within a two-mile walk.
Dorset is on the sunny side of England, down south. The weather is usually a lot kinder than elsewhere, with more dry days on average.
Christchurch is famous for many things, not least of which is
The Priory. This grand building is the longest church in England which is not a cathedral. It dates back to 800 AD, although the stone foundations were laid in 1094.
There are the ruins of a
castle nearby, set on a hill surrounded by its own moat. The moat is now dry, but kids enjoy sliding down the steep banks on cardboard sleds.
Stop in and visit the
Red House Museum after collecting some clues, before you wander past the
Three Gables Bed and Breakfast to grab your last clue. Pop in to visit Hazel and Kim to secure your accommodation before their winter specials end.
