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.

Marwenne (or Marwenna) was one of the many
holy daughters of King Brychan Brycheiniog, she grew up at her
father's Royal Court in Talgarth, before travelling across the
Bristol Channel to Cornwall. Here, she settled at Marhamchurch,
near Bude, on the site of the present church. She lived their in
holy seclusion until her death on 12th August some time in the
mid-6th century.
