Geocache Description:

Surviving from the Second World War, Brownstone Battery is one of the National Trusts less orthodox properties. The contrast of brutal military structures and the stunning beauty of the area make this a must visit location.

.


Brownstone Battery is a little promoted National Trust property near to the very popular Coleton Fishacre.

Parking is available at N50 20.920 W003 32.472. From the car park, follow the track south, past the tower and down the hill. Once at the Battery, an information board shows a plan of the site and its history as a maritime defence during World War 2. Plan a route down through the site that takes you past the many interesting structures. Once near the bottom, the path to the cache will become obvious. Take care, the area is steep. There is no need to leave the paths.

As of 15/07/2010, the cache is small clear locking sandwich box with a couple of Team Lambchop fridge magnets contained wiithin.

For members of the National Trust, excellent 'tea and cake' is available just up the road at Coleton Fishacre.

Thanks to the warden at Brownstone for permission to hide the cache and to the National Trust for making such places available to the public.
