• Geocaching

Montgomery has joined the world’s largest treasure-hunting community with 12 geocache sites hidden around the town and the surrounding area. The sixteen caches provide a family-friendly tourism resource giving visitors the chance to test their map reading and navigation skills. And, local people of all ages can have fun and get fit exploring our glorious countryside while taking part in this healthy, outdoor activity.

 

Resident, Penri Jones, volunteered with the Destination Montgomery project in 2018 and devised the geocache trail as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. He is currently working with the 1st Montgomery Cubs section to develop further sites around the town.
