My Geocache

For the personal geocache that I created myself, I decided to do one about all of King Henry VIII’s wives. There were six of them and each one of them would have a significant place to visit. I would start with Catherine of Aragon. She was the first wife of Henry. The cache for her would be at Westminster Abbey. The purpose for this location is because Henry VIII created the Church of England to get annulment of his marriage to Catherine to marry Anne Boleyn.

The next cache would be for Anne Boleyn. She was the second wife of King Henry. The place where I would have put this geocache is at the Waterloo Barracks. I picked this place because this is where Anne Boleyn was executed.

The next cache would be for Jane Seymour, Henry’s third wife. Her cache would be located at Hampton Court, which is in West London. It was the location of her death from complications from childbirth.

The next cache would be for Anne of Cleves. She was Henry’s fourth wife. She had the shortest marriage of all of the wives. The location of this cache would be the Palace of Placentia which is in Greenwich. This is where Anne and Henry got married.

The next cache would be for Catherine Howard, the fifth wife. She was the cousin of Anne Boleyn. This cache would be placed at London Bridge. This was where Catherine’s head was placed after she was executed.

The next cache would be for the last wife, Catherine Parr. This cache would be place in another part of the Hampton Court Palace. It was where Catherine and Henry were married.

My final cache would be in Kensington Gardens. Probably in a bush or next to a tree.
