Geocache Description:

The Balancing Lakes Geocache Series - No.2
The Park is set in 250 acres of parkland around two lakes. All the caches can be found close to the paths and offer a circular walk away from traffic. The suggested start and finish is at Tannaghmore Gardens, but the lazy may find a closer start point.

Places of Interest on Route

Tannaghmore Animal Farm and Gardens
This section of the park covers a total of 100 acres and have fine examples of rare breeds of livestock and poultry. The Barn Museum exhibits traditional farm techniques such as haymaking and blacksmithing.

The Parkland and Lakes
Round the lakes incorporates a range of habitats and is host to skylarks, grasshopper warblers and a variety of wildfowl. Of particular note is the wildflower corridor either side of the NI railway line, abundant in June and July. This area is rich in biodiversity and hosts a significant population of Orchids including Bee Orchids - a key indicator of biodiversity.

Rushmore Shopping Centre
Found at the SW edge of the park and will provide retail therapy for all your needs.

The Cache
The cache is a large tab locked box, it contains the log and a number of trade items. It is suitable for Geocoins and Travel Bugs. The cache is off the beaten track and can be found close to the MTB cycle track. Go down the hill to the lake side for spectacular views over the Southern Lake. The rating would be much higher if you were to complete the series in a single round trip.
