The river mini gorge is attractive and there are several smaller paths leading off the main tarmac main path.
In early spring there are bluebells, daffodils and large spectacular expanses of ramsons, wild garlic, especially on the lower part of the glen. A little above the cache on the main path is a double redwood tree. Easy to spot on account of its reddish and rather spongy to touch bark.
Parking is available at Gideon’s Green; although rather limited. If you drive into Shore Road entrance to the Rathcoole estate there is a small road on the left leading to Newtownabbey NIHE offices. Next to an electricity transformer there is a small lay by for parking.
The cache is a small bison containing the log. BYOP. Please replace as found.
