Geocache Description:

The shingle beach at Hallane is often deserted as most visitors flock to larger beaches nearby. There is a small waterfall and rock arch off to one side and (if it survives from landslip) the excellent Hallane Mill cache ( http://coord.info/GC15QDC ) along the other side of the beach. The steep foothpath that climbs up Drennick towards Black Head offers fantastic views.

Trenarren is a gem of a hidden hamlet standing at the gateway to Black Head, which separates St Austell and Mevagissey Bays. Mid-way between Porthpean and Pentewan it has remained rural and remarkably unchanged, and consists of half a dozen pretty cottages and gardens; a large house (which was once owned by A L Rowse) and a post box, all nestled in a coombe that slips down to the tiny cove of Hallane between lovely cliff walks on the headland.

A relatively short walk (couple of miles and change) which you can head in either direction for, contains stiles, steep bits and cliff-side bits, it can be muddy and slippery so please ensure you take all of the usual precautions with kids, dogs and yourselves. I would not take buggies or wheelchairs, sadly it's not that kind of terrain. Decent-sized pots so there'll be room for bugs and trades, caches placed with a mind for the families but the kids will need a little help with a couple. Please trade fairly. Also for added fun ensure you collect the numbers for the bonus at the end.
