Penryn Perambulation 1 Just hangin’ with me homies Traditional Cache
Hi5Dudley: The other caches in this series have either been nicked (each one, several times!) and this one seems to have gone missing when the ivy was cut back so, it seems a bit pointless to replace this one.

At the top of the steps, in the top LH corner of the free car park. A micro cache with 3 friends. Tweezers would be useful. I have put a cache here because I'm always fascinated by old looking and well used steps and pathways. I like to imagine all the people that may have used them over the centuries, and I love the thought that I am walking where they walked. Congratulations to bertwoody63 for FTF
Penryn - Twinned with Audierne, Brittany, France in 1973. Penryn gets its name from the Cornish 'penn-rynn', meaning head or end of a point, as it sits on a promontory between 2 river valleys. There have been people living here since Iron Age times, and Penryn was granted borough status as a town in 1236 by Bishop Brewer, the Bishop of Exeter. Today Penryn is a real mix of the ancient and the modern and is a friendly and community spirited town. If you do these caches in order they will take you on a mini-historical tour around this ancient town and also include the lovely Glasney Valley trail. If you have time, the town's museum is free and houses many interesting artefacts from the town's history. Penryn can be quite hilly, and in places has very narrow pavements and as such this series is not really wheelchair friendly although is mostly buggy friendly, including the Glasney Valley path. Dogs would obviously need to be on leads through the town but they can romp around Glasney Valley to their hearts content! Thanks to Penryn Town Council and Donald Martin at Open spaces for permission to place these caches. Thanks also to Pip Carlton-Barnes at Visit Penryn for permission to use the historical information from the website and the town guide.
