Geocache Description:


Pentille View

 

This is a short Cache & Dash series of mostly simple Caches in mostly traditional hides. Some are a little trickier, the final one is a tad different and is a Diff 3.5. We set the trail as a reason to approach the open bank of the Tamar by a relatively unused route, which includes distant views of Dartmoor, a clear view of Pentillie Castle, and several unusual views of the river as it meanders past Weir Quay, and the Hooe Peninsula. The actual drive takes you firstly down two very quiet remote Cornish lanes, as you approach the original Pentillie Castle gatehouse, then down a fairly busy and fast lane, until the final quiet lane and the start of the old road along the river to Cargreen. You will be able to park alongside all the Caches apart from #11, which lists a parking Waypoint. If possible, time completeing the series to within an hour or so either side of high tide at Cargreen, as the Tamar around  Cache #11 will then be relatiely high, and the Millpond there fairly full.

Safe to park in the gateway, but the trafic on this lane is fast!! Impressive view of Pentillie Castle.
