Geocache Description:

This is a camo pot. The house you just passed is Chapel House, which was built in 1794 when John Sneyd of Belmont Hall had a falling out with the vicar in the village so abandoned his existing church building project and built this chapel instead. When the dispute was resolved the chapel was converted to a house and the village church was completed. 


If you have an hour or so to spare, it is worth a diversion along the footpath by the chapel, down The Devil's Staircase to The Black Lion. There are two caches on the way down.

The Belmont Round is a series of 15 caches plus a bonus. It is around 3 miles long and will take 2 to 3 hours. There are a few other caches you pass on the way round and it also crosses paths with the Merry Xmas nano series. Six of the caches in the series have bonus clues in them, labelled A - F (please see the bonus box description for more info about the clues.) The trail is on country lanes and the route is pushchair and wheelchair friendly (not all the caches are wheelchair friendly, some are slightly off the road.) There are a couple of steep uphill struggle. The lanes are usually quite quiet but be careful as you will encounter some cars and tractors. This is not a cache and dash as the lanes are narrow and there is nowhere to safely stop. This walking route is known locally as The Belmont Round. Parking is available along Church Lane. You will definitely need tweezers and may also need a tool such as a screwdriver to prise open a couple of stubborn containers.
