At Nostell, you can hunt for treasure on any day using your own GPS device or smartphone. Or if you need a hand to get started, join one of our taster sessions with a geocaching expert.
Head out on your own adventure
You can find step-by-step instructions to get started on the National Trust geocaching page below.
Top tips for geocaching at Nostell:
- The parkland stretches over 300 acres so we'd recommend planning which caches you’re going to search for before you set off
- The loos are located in the courtyard – remember to go before you start hunting
- Take some snacks! Bring your own adventurer pack-up or stop by the Courtyard Café to stock up on drinks, sandwiches, cakes and goodies for mini explorers
- Look out for wildlife on the way, from buzzards soaring over Obelisk Park and swans on the lakes to all sorts of bugs and creepy crawlies in the woodland and meadows
- Don’t forget to fill in number 49 in your scrapbook of 50 things to do before you’re 11 ¾ and grab a sticker from the ticket office, gardens entrance or car park cabin
