Geocache Description:

A trail round Dumbreck Marsh local nature reserve in Kilsyth.


The trail

This cache is one of a series of caches placed around Dumbreck Marsh local nature reserve.  The area once showed the signs of the area's mining history, and was covered in bings and the lines of old mineral railways.  Now, however, it is the site of grassland, ponds, and a nice trail which is perfect for a gentle walk or cycle.

There are various possible access points, but the easiest two are probably from Auchinstarry where there is plenty of available parking, or from Gavell Road where there is easy on-road parking.

Many thanks to North Lanarkshire Council's Greenspace Development department for granting permission for these caches to be placed.

The cache - Church View

It sometimes feels like there are two things that you can see wherever you are in Kilsyth - the tower of Kilsyth Academy, and the tower of the Burns and Old Parish Church.  The rather lengthy name stems from the joining of the now-demolished Burns Church and the Old Parish Church in 1975.  The Church tower can be seen roughly east of here; it's in a prominent place above the town, and if you're ever lucky enough to be able to climb to the top of the tower (if it's even still possible) then it offers great views from the top.  More of the history of the church can be read here: http://www.boldchurch.org.uk/index.php?pid=5

Cache is a camouflaged small click-lock tub.
