I love this road and thought it needed a acache so that folks might stop and take in the scene.
There is a parking spot for two cars just across the road.(on the left hand side if coming from Largs). Please be careful crossing as this can be a fast and busy road. There is then a gate which actually takes you onto what was the original old road. The reservoir itself is through a further gate.
There is no need to enter the reservoir area to find the cache but if you do go through the wee gate please take note of the warning signs. There are a number of nice trails which start of at the Western end of the embankment which take you up into the hills. Lots of sheep. On the embankment tthere is a wee bridge over the run off and a commemerative plaque giving details of the scheme.
Camphill reservoir was built by the Paisley Water Works to supply potable water to the residents of Paisley. It was completed in 1891 at a cost of £155,000 and holds 730,000,000 gallons of water. (very thirsty folk the Buddies!).
From the parking spot there is also a path into Knockaird Woodland. You cannot miss the big sign! It's a proper woodland walk and can get wet and muddy after rain. I had hoped to place a cache here but was unable to find out who owned the land , (and so were NAC!). Well worth a dauner if you have the time as the views are excellent.
The cache is a small magnetic job
