Geocache Description:

This is the final resting place for Mary Queen of Scots

There is a stone memorial in between two newly built houses at N 52° 34.228 W 000° 16.905 in the lovely village of Longthorpe. After Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded at Fotheringhay her funeral cortege is known to have stayed here while negotiations were carried out at the Cathedral to have her interned there. Unfortunately only the stone is left and there is no plaque available to read.

To avoid upsetting the locals, we hid the cache a bit further away, which should also make life a little easier for you when hunting for it. :-)


This cache is on one of Longthorpe's footpath's and is wheelchair and buggy friendly. Parking is close by in a residential area in Holywell Way, so please park considerately. Cache shouldn't be too difficult to find, but if having trouble, please just ask for a hint.Please bring something to scribble with as there is not one in the container for you to use. Enjoy!

Well done to Darlynne57 for a first FTF!!
