The mailscot wood Trail is a four mile trail between Symonds Yat Rock and christchurch campsite. The route is marked as a red route forest trail which is mostly natural surfaces with exposed roots and rocks and some steep sections so hiking footwear is recommended. Parking is available at either Christchurch campsite which is free or the Symmonds Yat Rock main car park which is £3 per car. Both parking areas have toilet and cafe facilities seven days a week. There may also be some road parking along the B4432 with access to footpaths.
This cache is a good twenty - thirty minute walk from either car park but is manageable with young children as this is a favourite walk for me and my three year old, however it is not suitable for a pushchair.
Some clues to let you know you are in the right place would be a small wooden brigde running over a small tree and a big mud patch for squelching in next to a big tree. The cache is a natural cache that was handmade from materials found locally. The cache is hidden off another path from the Wood trail but the bridge can be seen from the trail itself.
