Geocache Description:


This is one of three caches hidden along the Dunmore Coastal Path that begins in the Picturesque village of Dunmore East Co. Waterford and Ends at Portally Cove.


It is a 4km round trip (not a looped walk unfortunately!) with stunning views over the Waterford Coastline and further to Wexford and Hook Head Lighthouse. The walk takes about 25minutes one way.


Please be aware that this is a coastal cliff walk along open cliffs and although suitable for children and animals please take care as appropriate at all times

At the coordinates you will be standing on top what is known as Bishops cave. Nowadays this cave can only be accessed by boat but in the past it was possible to enter the cave from the opening in the field nearby (You should be able to see the wall surrounding the hole) and in penal times the locals and clerics used to say mass and pray in these caves without fear of persecution. A cartoon map of this walk has been published along with an article in the Irish Times (google: Dunmore East to Portally Coastal Walk. If you are feeling brave what about trying my cache "Tally Ho! To The Tally Hole!" GC30562
to cool off after your walk!
.
FTF still up for grabs!!
