Geocache Description:

To find this geocache you will need to explore our vast parkland. It is a moderately tricky cache to find as it is hidden in a wide open area and you need to watch out for stinging nettles. You may need to wear sturdy and waterproof shoes, as the slippery leaves and squelchy mud try to slow you down in your quest to find the cache.


This is an official National Trust geocache for Knightshayes.

Our acres of green and lush parkland at Knightshayes are a great place for the whole family to explore- with routes to walk the dog, rare and ornamental trees to admire and wildlife to spot. This is where we have hidden a cache.

Follow the main path down from the stables and then turn the first right into our parkland. You need to go through the gate. Take care not to trip over the fallen twigs or slip on the wet grass.  The cache is hidden in this area. It is in a plastic camouflaged box with a National Trust information card on top. Inside are some activities for you to try.

More about Knightshayes

With acres of glorious gardens and parkland, surrounding a spectacular Gothic Revival house, Knightshayes is the complete country gentleman's dream.

The house is a rare example of the work of William Burges, whose richly decorated interiors have always inspired extremes in opinion. Full of quirks and curiosities, you can see gargoyles, corbels and a medieval inspired great hall.

The garden is one of the finest in Devon and its collection represents one of the most varied in the Trust; with over 1200 plant species unique to Knightshayes and riotous seasonal colour, it’s always worth a visit.
