Geocache Description:

This cache is placed at the entrance to the village of Common Moor where I grew up.  My parents still live here, and together we set up this cache while I was home on holiday from my new home in Kentucky. 


The village of Common Moor dates from the early 19th century when there was a boom in tin and copper mining in South East Cornwall. It is on the edge of Bodmin Moor close to a source of fresh water and the mines and granite quarries around Caradon Hill.  In the old days of the village, many large families lived in small two roomed terraced cottages where the miners slept in relays and walked with their pasties several miles to their work. Over the years, the village has expanded with bungalows and houses being been built to accommodate an increase in population.  Currently, it is a village of around 50 homes which house both holiday makers and long-time local residents. 

Hope that you enjoy exploring the moors.  This cache can be reached by road or by foot, and is wonderfully located close to beautiful sites such as The Hurlers, Cheesering, Sibleback Lake, and Golitha Falls. 

You are looking for a 35 mm film canister hidden in a slightly different way.
