HALO - St Ive Traditional Cache
The Choughly Saint: Time for this series to go and leave space for others to use.
All containers will be collected in when Covid19 regulations permit
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Cornwall's first 100 plus cache series. There's a fair mix of
footpaths and very minor roads - with quite a lot of up and
down
sections. Dogs should be no problem, buggies/prams and
wheelchairs
will struggle - lots. Some stunning views so bring a camera.
There
are several stiles on the way round.
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.

Take care with this roadside cache. St
Blazey was once dominated by the local mining industries and their
associated transport infrastructure. Historically, copper and tin
were mined in and around the parish, whilst more recently china
clay has been the principal commodity mined. The port of Par, which
lies within the parish, was developed to ease the transport of
these minerals, and initially connected to the mines by the Par
Canal. The Par Canal was soon replaced by the Cornwall Minerals
Railway, which had a depot and station in the town, and still
exists as part of the Atlantic Coast Line. Whilst St Blazey depot
is still in use, St Blazey station closed to passengers in 1925,
and the town is now served by Par station on the Cornish Main Line
in Par village. |
