Geocache Description:

This series of caches around the Manx Glens were inspired by 2 small junior geo-cachers age 8 and 4!! All involve short walks and geo-caches which should be easy for children to find!! This cache can be found in a cubby hole towards the base of a dry stone wall.

In the shadow of the 2,036 ft. might of Snaefell and near to the Sulby reservoir lies Tholt-y-Will Glen. This steeply-sided glen is set in the upper reaches of Sulby Glen or Glen Mooar one of the Island's most stunning and scenic areas. This glen descends in winding paths alongside a mountain stream tumbling over rocks forming a tributary of the Sulby River, the longest river on the Island. Near the lower entrance to the glen, a craft centre is open during the summer months beside which is a popular picnic area. The adjacent Tholt-y-Will plantation also provides walkers with challenging but rewarding recreation.

Not easily accessible by public transport, but with ample parking near the lower entrance, access is by car.
