Geocache Description:

The Grey Mare's Tail is one of a series of six along the Queens Way in the beautiful Galloway Forest Park. We encourage you to visit some of the interesting features or locations along this idyllic drive in remote rugged Galloway countryside.


There are other similar waterfalls, with the same name, but the Grey Mare's Tail at Talnotry is easily accessible and a photopraphic gem. The short but steep climb to nearby Murray's Monument is well worth the effort with fine panoramic views.


The adjacent Wild Goat Park is popular, especially with young children in early spring when there are sure to be young kids around.

How to claim two free cups of tea or coffee courtesy of Forestry Commission Scotland.

Start the series from either The Roundhouse or Daltamie and gather the letters and corresponding numbers from each of the caches. Hand a printed copy of the final cache description (either A or F above) with the completed decoder to the Visitor Centre Assistant to receive your complimentary drinks.

This offer is a gesture of goodwill to encourage geocaching in Galloway and is not mandatory to the completion of the caches.

You are looking for a small plastic container with room for small swaps and TB's.
