A multi-location virtual cache set in the town of Falmouth.
This is a long one as you can see. All locations are easily accessible, parking is possible very close to many of them. This cache has been given a terrain rating of 3, this is based on walking the entire way - about 6 miles (worth it if you have the time and energy!). If you 'cheat' and use a car or other form of transport then the rating is reduced to 1.5.
This trail will take you to places of historical interest, places with great views and places to take a break.
