The Cam High Road, on which this cache can be found, is a well-preserved section of the Roman Road that ran from Ingleton to the Roman Fort of Virosidum at Bainbridge. It takes a very direct route, at this point skirting the summit of Wether Fell above the village of Gayle in Wensleydale.
To find out more information about this and other ancient routes in the area, visit our archaeology website, www.outofoblivion.org.uk
High Cam can be visited on a steep, there-and-back walk from Hawes of about 6.5 miles. Suggested parking is at Hawes National Park car park (charge).
There is a regular bus service to Hawes.
The other four caches in our Highways and Byways series can be found on a good circular walk of about 7 miles, starting at Hawes National Park car park. If you plan to do this walk with a dog, please note that there are some very narrow squeeze stiles along the way. It may be necessary for you to lift your four legged friend over them!
The four caches in the correct order for the walk are:
Hawes Highways (multi-cache)
West Cam
High Rail
The Black Stuff
