Snells Pace: Time to kill this one off. It's had a good innings, but the area is covered by a nearby cache. So people can still enjoy this footpath.

The cache is a short walk away on footpaths (do not stray into the marshes!!). It is a smallish lock-n-lock container (no big swaps please, there isn't room).
After doing the cache why not continue to the Turf Locks Hotel(maybe closed in winter months) only a little further on. One of the best pubs in the area. Ask for a pint of Dragons Tears Cider, brewed locally in Topsham.
