Geocache Description:

The CAGE series - Come And Get Em

These are all designed to be cache n’ dash and have been placed as a driving series to take you around the picturesque Castlewellan countryside.


Castlewellan is a town of some several thousand inhabitants situated in the south-east of Northern Ireland close to the Irish Sea and the Mourne Mountains.

There are already some caches in this area which have lovely views of the Mournes and surrounding mountains.

This series of caches has been place by gilliancclarke, Frezeluberz and Zoe andDaddy.


Castlewellan Forest Park

Castlewellan had a railway station which opened on 24th March 1906.

The new railway station was an ideal place for the East Downshire Steam Shipping Co., based in Dundrum, to set up a Coal Yard and Office in Castlewellan about 1910. They supplied the surrounding area until the early 1950's when it became known that the railway was going to close.

The railway station closed on 2nd May 1955.

The caches in the series are:
