Geocache Description:

This Cornwall Wildlife Trust reserve was purchased in 1986 with the help of a grant from the World Wildlife Fund. Keep your eyes peeled for Fulmar and House Martins (my favourites!). Fossils contained in the rocks tell us that 400 million years ago Ropehaven lay beneath deepening tropical seas. The sea bed was home to corals, sea lilies, shellfish and primitive fish and squid.



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.
