Geocaching

Geocaching is a treasure hunting game, using Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology to find hidden 'caches' or boxes. By marrying the outdoor world with technology you can reap the benefits of this modern navigation method.

Geocaching can be themed to any subject or topic, it can be used as a team-building exercise, for challenges or as a simple way to keep your young ones entertained and to get them out in the open air.

Geocaching takes places at numerous venues throughout Essex, such as at the Country Parks and venues like the Martello Tower in Jaywick, the Naze Tower in Walton-on-the-Naze and many more.

World’s first art GeoTour 

The world’s first Art GeoTour has been created throughout Spring 2021 as part of the VisitEngland supported campaign, England’s Creative Coast, which brings together the counties of Essex, Kent and East and West Sussex in a celebration of art and creativity along 1400kms of coastline.

Utilising ‘Geocaching’ GPS enabled digital treasure hunt technology via the geocaching app, a new trail of cultural caches is being created along the coast, tempting visitors to find, unlock and log them as part of the geocaching game.

New caches, created by local people from each location, will reveal the hidden gems and stories of the area to give a real sense of place and encourage people to visit, engage, explore and move between locations across England’s Creative Coast.
