NT Mount Stewart - Sea Plantation Ruins Traditional Cache

The nearby cache Sea Plantation was inspired by the lone tree that your eye is drawn to when gazing out from Temple of the Winds 

This cache was inspired by the walk I had out to here and wanting to see if there was anything else worth exploring and I was not disappointed. 

This cache has been named in line with a nearby series that i own on national trust land. 

This cache is on the sea shore so is not subject to any national trust parking or admission fees and should be accessed from the parking way point along the beach without entering any grounds they maintain. 

The beach is completely covered at high tide so a planned approach should be made. Tide tables for nearby are available here: (visit link)

On the way to GZ you can make out the remains of an old jetty that is marked on the OS map of the 1920's the boat house has gone but there is an old winch visible that i assume was part of it. 

There are also the remains of what appears to be an observation area. where you can observe beautiful views with surprisingly little sound from the nearby road 

Near GZ there is a derelict structure, I am still waiting to get the story behind it and will update this listing.

This structure is on national trust land and possibly dangerous so should not be explored. The cache is not located on or in it

Enjoy your walk along the path and the views of Scrabo and towards Newtownards
