Geocache Description:

See all of Exeter at once!

The hunt for this cache takes you on a short walk which can be done in under an hour. There are some nice benches to stop at along the way if you feel like taking it easy. You are looking for a small (~10cm x 5cm) tuppaware container. It is large enough for small travel bugs only. Parking can be found in the vicinity of Waypoint 1 (see below).
