Geocache Description:

Nice easy walk on fairly flat terrain. The cache is a small quick lock container in a camo bag.
Replaces a cache previously hidden by the Truffle Snufflers, however they stopped maintenance.  I kept it going as long as I could but its now been archived.
Previous Cache - http://coord.info/GC219WE

The cache has been disabled for a little while due to the installation of a new pipe across the bridge and as a result I cannot put the cache back in its original location so it has moved 41m towards Exmouth on the other side of the bridge.

The cache is located along the former Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton railway line (now a cycle track). The line opened in 1903, linking Budleigh Salterton to Exmouth, going eastward over a viaduct which went from Exeter Road to Park Road where it entered a cutting continuing onto Littleham Cross where there was also a station (now a private residence), and from there to Budleigh Salterton. From there it turned north to rejoin the main London and South Western Railway line.
The line was dismantled in 1967 and was just left as a bare trackbed for many years. The trackbed has now been tarmaced and forms an off-road cycle way from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton.
