Geocache Description:


Enjoy a refreshing walk from Portrush to Portstewart, and admire magnificent views of the North Coast and beyond. This sweep of coastline was a graveyard for ships in the olden days; the last sail-powered ship was lost here in 1931. Evidence of wrecks and rescues still lingers. Following part of the Ulster Way, and Causeway Coast Way visit the grave of the Unknown Sailor and see where the Hermit of Seaview lived. Care must be taken going past Ballyreagh and Portstewart golf courses

The starting point for this series of caches is best started from the West Strand car park Portrush and following the Port path coastal walk towards Portstewart.  Which should be sign posted. This walk however is not wheelchair accessible and care should be taking as some of the path is close to the cliff edge.

The Old Course situated at the eastern end of Portstewart. Your round begins and ends at the site of the original Portstewart course, where golf was first played as far back as 1889.

The cache is a 15ml screw top container, containing a log and pencil. Tweezers may be needed to retrieve log. Care should be taken with young ones as this is quite close to the cliff edge. This is an extremley high muggle area in the summer months, so stealth will be required. Please replace cache well tucked in. Pleas take care passing through Golf course for any strey balls.
