2. Black Rock Traditional Cache

Black Rock Nature reserve is managed by Somerset Wildlife Trust on behalf of the National Trust. Black Rock forms part of the Cheddar Gorge Site of Special Scientific Interest and is part of a Special Area for Conersation because of the limestone grassland, ravine woodland and rare greater and lesser horseshoe bats.

This cache is near to the start of the two nature trails at Black Rock. These trails take take you up the hill to the top of the reserve were you can see some fantastic views as well as a range of habitats. The plants and animals of Bleck Rock are very rich with over 30 speices being recorded per square metre on the limestone grassland. Some of the species  recorded here, such as spring cinquefoil and Solomon's seal, are nationally scarce.

The cache is a medium sized tuperware box. The contents includes some Somerset Wildlife Trust stickers and badges.
