NOTE: PARKING CHARGES HAVE BEEN IMPOSED AT THE WELLHILL CAR PARK WEF 1 MAY 2012.
This cache can be done alone or incorporated as part of a longer walker with our other caches in the area. The paths are well marked and should not prove a problem to people on bikes, foot or with 'off road' pushchairs.
The cache has a log book and pencil and is large enough to take medium sized swaps.
This beautiful coastal pine forest has a unique and fascinating history, shaped by man and nature.
For centuries Culbin has been an ever-changing landscape, lashed by the sea and winds from the north. Long ago the area was occupied by tenant farmers who eked out a living, ever under the threat of invasion by sand. Local lore tells how all were finally driven out by an immense storm in 1694.
Taken over by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s, the vast area of bare sand dunes was stabilised bit by bit by planting with Scots and Corsican pine trees.
Today, this special forest reveals plants, animals and birds youd normally find only in ancient natural pinewoods. Look out for the more common roe deer, red squirrels and coal tits and with some luck and patience, the more elusive pine martens, crested tits and crossbills.
Follow the way marked trails or explore tracks reaching to the heart of the forest or out to the shore. To find out more, pick up the Forestry Commissions Culbin leaflet at local Tourist Information Centres or at the Wellhill or Cloddymoss car parks.
This cache is placed at the Hidden History near the number 38 marker on the Culbin Forest map available at the car parks. There are plenty of footpaths in this area, this is a beautiful, tranquil walk from either Wellhill or Cloddymoss car park. Enjoy and beware the ghost!
