"I may be small, but I want to see the world."
— Julia Donaldson
Tucked away on the edge of the Welsh coast, this cache celebrates a big view and a little explorer with an adventurous spirit.
Placed by Millie (age 12) and her mum, this spot was chosen not just for its peaceful charm, but for the breathtaking panorama across the Bristol Channel — where on a clear day, you can spot Flat Holm, Steep Holm, and even the distant coastlines beyond. It's the perfect place to pause, reflect, and remember how vast and beautiful the world is — even from a small patch of grass beneath your feet.
📜 A bit of history:
Penarth Head is believed to be the highest point along the entire Wales Coast Path, sitting at around 200 feet above sea level. A viewing platform was added in 2015 as part of a project to improve coastal access, complete with a mosaic and interpretation boards that explain the area’s rich natural and cultural heritage.
This clifftop was once a lookout point, and later part of a Victorian-era promenade stroll — now, it’s a favourite for walkers, photographers, and locals who know where to find the best sea breeze.
👣 Take your time. Enjoy the view. Maybe even bring a notebook or a sketchpad — and think like Millie’s little explorer: the world is full of places to discover, no matter your size.
🔍 Cache Notes: Please replace it exactly as found and be mindful of muggles — it’s a popular spot, especially at sunset! You may need tweezers to extract the log.
