Another cache along the Discovery
Trail, this cache is located near the Kings Cove Lighthouse on
the Kings Cove Lighthouse Trail. Cachers will be
rewarded by a walk through meadows and a tree lined path, with
frequent panaramic views of the surrounding Bonavista Bay. You are
encouraged to take some time to read some of the plaques and signs
in the various vantage points along the way. You will learn a
little about the various types of whales which may be seen, as well
as some history of the Batterton family, who were the lighthouse
keepers for over 60 years. The path also takes you through Pat
Murphy’s Meadow, the subject of a poem by the late John
Martin Devine, a native of King’s Cove. This poem was
eventually turned into a song.
As you look out over the Bay from the various vantage points,
you may see whales, or small boats from the area. On a clear day
you can see the community of Bonavista in the distance.
