Geocache Description:

A series of caches which can be undertaken as a linear walk from Muiravonside Country Park towards the A801. The walk from the car park and back again is approximately 2 miles. The caches in the series are all bird boxes attached to trees and the challenge is to find them, open them and sign the logbook. Most are just off the main path but there are a couple around 50 feet/15 metres into the wood.



Muiravonside Country Park is an old country estate formerly owned by the Stirling family of Falkirk. The Park is free to access and open all-year round. There is a lot to do with nature trails, picnic sites and a play area available in the Park. There is also a small children’s farm and café on site. The visitors’ centre has now reopened following refurbishment.

Opening hours and access:

The park is open to public access 365 days a year.
Vehicle access is restricted, via the main gate, to the hours of:

April-September: 8.00am - 8.00pm
October-March: 8.00am - 5.00pm

Please do not park in front of the gates out of hours, as emergency access may be required.

This is the bonus cache for the Bird Boxes at Muiravonside series. You should have collected four numbers from some of the other caches in the series.

Some of the paths can be very muddy so please ensure you wear appropriate footwear.

Muiravonside is a Country Park and that means a lot of tree cover. Please bear this in mind as GPS accuracy can vary. Mobile phone signal varies greatly in the park so, if you cache with a smartphone, it is advisable to save the caches offline before you come to the park.

If you have all the numbers it should be easy to find the log in this bonus cache.

The log must be signed to claim a find. There should be a pencil and sharpener in the container but please bring a pen, just in case. If the pencil is missing, please mention in your log and, if all else fails, we will accept a photo log of the actual paper log.

Please return and secure everything correctly and please try not to post spoilers in your logs.

Many thanks to the Muiravonside Rangers for their permission and cooperation in allowing us to place caches in the park.
