Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of 5 caches.

You are looking for a small lock top container with room for small swops.  BYOP.

 GPS co-ordinates were a bit tricky for this one due to the tree cover so you may find you could be between 0 - 5 metres out.  There are 2 clues in the description and the hint will give it away.

There is no need to climb the bank. Cache can be reached from the path and there are several parking areas close to the cache site.


This cache has been placed on a track known as North Hill Road which used to serve two farms futher along the hill. The farms were abandoned during the second world war and have since been demolished. The stone drinking trough was put here for horses using the road and was once filled by a natural spring. Sadly the spring seems to have dried up and on hot sunny days the trough will be dry.

This is a pretty wooded area and on sunny days dappled sunlight filters through, enhancing the trees. Silver Birch, Mountain Ash (also known as Rowan), Hazel, Sessile Oak, Holly and many more can be seen, many of which produce flowers in the Spring and an abundance of berries in the Autumn.

This cache has been placed with kind permission from The Exmoor National Park Authority
