The Choughly Saint's HALO Cache Series
It’s based on parts of “The Saints Way”, a circuit of some 22 miles, taking in coastline, moorland, a tor and a selection of delightful towns and villages - with many spots to stop for tea or if you’re that way inclined there’s a lovely selection of fine Cornish Pubs on the way round.

HALO - St Gluvias |
| Cache Comments |
This cache is at the start (or finish) of a section of the Saints Way which takes you from Helman Tor along a ridge with fine views either side before descending down to a road and onward to the delightful village of Lanlivery. The cache is a black topped 825ml plastic jar and contains the Helman Tor stamp. Please bring your own ink pad if you are intending on using it. From the parking you are within striking distance of two other great caches, GC10PE8 an Earthcache requiring you to visit the stone formation at the top of the Tor (please read actual cache page as there are tasks to be completed to claim it) and GC1PKF5 The Lone Tor 09 by Gribbin, a regular cache just beyond the tor with great views towards Bodmin Moor. Allow 30 mins and an extra half-mile to grab these two at the start or finish of your walk. |
| Parking & Shops |
Free Parking is available at Helman Tor N50 25.223 W004 43.763.
