Geocache Description:

Priory View -

Yet Another Common Cache #2



Kerswell Down Hill as it is marked on the OS map, is also called Kingskerswell Down.

The Priory in the title is St Augustine's Priory - Abbotskerswell and can be seen on the other side of the valley.

This used to be a priory for nuns of the Canonesses Regular of the Lateran. In 1983 the buildings were sold and are now a set of extensive houses. see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/28686 

Assuming the visibility is good enough when you visit this cache, you can also see the rocks at Haytor

Suggested parking at N50 29.893 W003 35.315

The cache is a small "small" or large "micro" click-n-lock style box hidden close to the viewpoint bench with room for some small swaps and GeoCoins.

The GPSr reception isn't too brilliant near the cache site, so you may need the clue and a compass.


On 1st May 2010, this cache will be listed solely on Opencaching - the geocaching.com listing will be archived
