Micro cache hidden near to Trelissick estate.
This cache can be approached from a number of routes. There is a laybye on the B3289 just before a marked footpath which accommodates about eight cars. Alternatively, (for a fee for non National Trust members) you can park at Trelissick estate.
The cache is along a fairly steep, and muddy in the wet, footpath. Sorry, but not really suitable for pushchairs.
The cache is hidden on the outskirts of Trelissick estate. It is a wonderful area to visit with plent of footpaths taking you through woods and along tidal creeks. There are lookout points across to Carrick Roads and views of the King Harry Ferry, the only connection across water to the Roseland peninsular. On a clear day Pendennis Castle can be seen on a promontory in the far distance.
Trelissick house is not open to the public but for those who like a bit of history it was built in about 1750 as a modest two-storey villa. This house was remodelled in 1825 by Peter Frederick Robinson who added the columned portico which rises to the height of the south front. Thomas Daniell planted much of the woodland along the shores of the estuary and the carriage drives he laid out in the park are now the shady woodland walks. Between 1844 and 1913 the estate was owned by the Gilbert family who made great improvements to the grounds. They planted ornamental woodlands and some of the huge holm oaks and conifers in the garden.
For those wanting to make it more of an outing why not take along a picnic and take a walk along the former wagon road to Roundwood Quay where Lamouth and Cowlands Creeks join the River Fal. There is an old settlement in this area, which I understand is iron-age.
I hope you enjoy this cache in another stunningly beautiful part of Cornwall.
