Geocache Description:

This is the first in a series of 9 caches, including a final bonus cache, that follow The Peregrine Path to Biblin's Bridge (2.25 miles) and onto Symonds Yat East (another 1.5 miles) along the south bank of the River Wye.

You are looking for a bison in a hole.


I regularly cycle this route and have been itching to put some caches along here. This cache is in the small (free) car park area at the Monmouth end of the trail. You should be able to find somewhere to park here, even if you park along the lane that leads to the car park

There is alternative Pay and Display parking at Symonds Yat East. Starting here makes the walk longer (7.5 miles), but it is a highly recommended spot with some excellent hostelries that you can return to once you have completed the series. You could also pick up two other caches, Monmouthshire Compass East and Wye Rapids.

The Peregrine Path is a cross boundary route that straddles the English Welsh border and connects Monmouth with Symonds Yat within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It used to be the Ross and Monmouth railway line.

The 4.75 mile section from this cache and Symonds Yat East is flat and traffic free so is an ideal walking/cycling route, suitable for all ages and for pushchairs and wheelchair users. A few of the cache containers won’t be able to be retrieved by everyone, as their hiding places are a little off the trail.
