Geocache Description:

There must be some reason why this modern housing estate in Topsham is named after a cave in Spain famous for its Upper Paleolithic cave paintings featuring drawings and polychrome rock paintings of wild mammals and human hands, but I've yet to discover what that might be!

 

 


 

I often enjoy a circular walk around lovely Topsham, starting at the quay, continuing along the Strand and Goat Walk, up Bowling Green Road, down Monmouth Street and back to the quay for refreshments. I've set 7 other caches on this route (with one small deviation) so this one makes 8 that can be found on a pleasant walk of less than an hour.

The cache is placed in a quiet road behind the housing estate and at this time of year there is plenty of tree cover to shield the cache site from being overlooked. You are looking for a camouflage-taped medium sized round pot with room for swaps and small trackables.
