Geocache Description:

This is a series of 47 caches along the Kerry Ridgeway – a gentle 15 mile route from Cider House Farm near Kerry in Wales, across the border to Bishops Castle in Shropshire. It holds a long tradition as a trade and drovers’ route from Wales to the lowland English markets.

The route has been divided into four sections – all sections can be completed on foot, bike, or horse. Sections 2 and 4 can be done as a drive-by, but please be aware that the roads are narrow and not always in the best state of repair – watch out for potholes, especially if it has been raining. Drive carefully and be considerate where you park.

SECTION 1: Cider House to Block Wood (caches #1 - #11)

Parking either N52 27.278 W003 18.767 (Cider House
Car Park) or N52 28.075 W003 15.272 (Block Wood Car
Park)

SECTION 2: Kerry Pole to Long Plantation (caches #12 - #25)

Can be completed as drive by or numerous places for
parking en-route

SECTION 3: Long Plantation to Pantglas (caches #26 - #37)

Parking available at N52 29.143 W003 09.315 (Long
Plantation), N52 29.300 W003 08.738 (Turbary Nature
Reserve) or N52 29.933 W003 06.666 (Pantglas)

SECTION 4: Pantglas to Bishops Castle (caches #38 - #47)

Can be completed as drive by or several places for parking
en-route and in Bishops Castle.

PLEASE BRING A PEN

The lane is now approaching Bishop's Castle, a fascinating little market town, once the smallest Borough in England. The castle is long gone, but the steep narrow streets, passageways and old buildings give it a medieval atmosphere.
