Geocache Description:

Traditional cache located at Renville Point near Oranmore.

Renville Park was originally the residence of a wealthy landowner. You can park at N 53 14.750 W 008 57.751 or follow the road along, past the Sailing Club and park where the road ends, there is room for a few cars and room to turn.

The park itself is well worth exploring from the above co-ords. Things to note in the park are the ruined house of the landlord, the castle and 19th century stone farm-buildings and the walled orchard now containing a playground.

In the location where the Marine Institute now stands you would have once spotted a 500ft mast which formed part of the DECCA navigation system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decca_Navigator_System), which served as an earlier form of nautical navigation before our beloved GPS became commercially available and superseded it.
