Knockagh, Knockagh Who's There? Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Ballyharry: Some building and maintenance work done in this area made the original location of the cache untenable and alternative locations have proved unsuitable, either because they are too public or dangerously near the cliffs. So I have decided to archive this entry.

Geocache Description:

Knockagh Monument is in Greenisland in County Antrim and is clearly visible for miles. It is accessed from Knockagh Road off the B90. The monument itself is at the end of Monument Road and has car parking facilities.
 




 

"Climb up to the Knockagh

And what a sight you’ll see,

From Carrickfergus in the East,

And South to Donaghadee,

The sprawl of Belfast to the West,

Beneath you, Antrim’s fields,

The long low coast of County Down

This splendid vista yields."

 

 

One of the attractive features of this cache site is the splendid view over Belfast Lough so go on a clear day if possible.

CAUTION: STEEP CLIFFS IN THE VICINITY.

Knockagh Monument was erected in memory of the men from County Antrim who fell in the Great War.

The cache is a 1 litre tab box hidden outside the fenced area which delineates the monument grounds.

Try the "spoiler" photo, "View from the cache" before using the hint.

Additional challenge: Email me with the deliberate mistake in the "poem" in the first page of the notebook!
