This is a short multi cache along a lane and then down a little known footpath.
Devoran is a village in south Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated four miles, southwest of Truro. The village is on the northeast bank of the Carnon River at its confluence with Restronguet Creek, a tidal creek which flows into Carrick Roads above Falmouth. Devoran is at the Normal Tidal Limit (NTL) of the creek but until the 20th century the tidal limit extended considerably further up the valley than now. Devoran played an important role in the tin and copper mining industry. It developed as a small port engaged in the export of mined minerals and the import of mining materials and coal. The Redruth and Chasewater Railway, an early industrial line which served the many mines a few miles to the north, terminated at the port (although there was an extension to wharves at Point on which trains were hauled by horses rather than locomotives). Today, this long-disused railway forms part of a coast-to-coast footpath and cycle route.
In 1904 W.Visick & Sons, Basset Works, Devoran, near Truro built a new dam across Melingey Creek and erected on it an undershot waterwheel to drive lathes, etc, and also a 5kW dynamo for lighting.
The cache is a short walk around the outside of the old works, at the point the numbers for the final are, can be seen the position of the old water wheel. on a high tide it is possible to kayak up here
To get the final cords you will find 5 silver numbers with the top one being, A to the bottom one being E.
N 50 12 C, B+C+D-B-E, C-B
W 005 06 D, A+D, A-E
