Geocache Description:

Crediton is a lovely, little town on the A377 between Exeter and Barnstaple. It's also where I spent most of my formative years.

 

I was born in nearby Copplestone and lived there for many years but Crediton was where I'd spend most of my time. I had friends and relatives that lived in Crediton and I was schooled in Crediton at QECC.


This cache, as well as being our first multi, is designed to bring you to Crediton Town Square which has many lovely small businesses. You can grab a cup of coffee or a pint of beer and get your hair cut or your nails polished while you are here.

 

Parking is plentiful in Crediton. There are several spaces around the square itself which allow you 45 minutes of free parking (ample time to complete the cache), there is a car park just off the square, on street parking in the high street or a large car park at the top of St Saviour's Way.

 

The headline co-ordinates are for a granite post which is one of a pair which serves as the old entrance to the market square. This square may get very busy on days when there is a Farmer's Market being held.

 

All information is available to you without leaving the square but the cache itself is a short walk away from the square.
