Geocache Description:

A short fairly level walk from the recommended parking place to the cache will give you one of the best views of the Axe Valley possible. You can see right up the Axe Valley to Axminster and on a clear day right across to Portland. This is not pushchair friendly.

Axe View I: Seaton

By seeking this or any other cache placed by myself or maintained by me you accept responsibility for your own safety. Caching can be dangerous. Assess the risk for yourself before seeking this cache!

Suggested free parking is at N50°42.977, W003°05.220 which is on Seaton Down Hill between the Tower Services and Seaton town centre. The old water tower nearby is now a residence with what must be an incredible panoramic view.

The walk to the cache will take you along the top edge of a farmers field which is often used for grazing sheep, so dogs should be kept under control at all times. The initial part of the path is probably the smelliest path around these parts, so put a peg on your nose! There is a great view to the east, across the Axe Valley with the River Axe winding it's way towards the estuary and the sea at Axmouth Harbour.

The cache is a fairly small black 0.7 litre tupperware container. When placed it held a fairly standard selection of new bits and pieces, and of course the log book and a pen and pencil. When replacing the cache container please make sure it is placed flat, not on it's edge, thanks.

Don't forget to make a note of the letters in the back of the log book. You'll need these for the final cache in the series, Axe View: Can you sea the end?.
