Geocache Description:


Belstone Tor stands high on Belstone Common with both east and west slopes covered with masses of clitter of both large and small rocks reaching almost down to the valleys of the River Taw [east] and River Okement [west]. Great care should be taken amongst the clitter in case the rocks are slippery!

South of Belstone Tor is the remains of what is known as Irishman's Wall which runs from west to east. The story goes that an Irish gentleman wished to follow the moorland custom of owning what could be enclosed by a permanent wall but the villagers knocked down the wall, and the gentleman abandoned his idea.
Wonderful 360° views can be seen on a good day!

The cache is a letterbox hybrid in a medium-sized pillpot. There is the letterbox stamp - so dont forget to take an inkpad and some paper or card to take a copy - and a small book for letterboxers to stamp their personal stamp, and a small separate plastic bag with a geocaching log for geocachers' names or stamps.

This is a hybrid letterbox, and has been sited within the DNP geocaching and letterboxing guidelines.
