Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache involves a hike across some of the most beautiful and
dramatic, yet hilly, scenery you will find in Cornwall. It is only
prudent to advise that you go prepared as the weather can change
very rapidly and the terrain is very rough and rugged in places.
The Kilmar Railway was established in 1858 as an extension to the
Liskeard and Caradon railway. It was built by the Cheeswring
Granite Company.
It ran from what is now the village of Minions and ended at 2
branches near Bearah and Kilmar Tor deep in the midst of Bodmin
Moor.
There is a small amount of parking at the end of the road at
Sharptor and is an ideal location to complete the five caches that
make up the Kilmar Railway series. Alternatively if you’d enjoy a
shorter walk you could park at the small parking area at the end of
the road up from Berriowbridge, and visit the 2 caches at Kilmar
and North Kilmar.
The cache is a 2 Litre box and contains the usual logbook, pens and
pencils etc There’s a few items to swap, some computer CDs, a game
and even a trade for all you cachers who bring a dog on your hunts!
There’s a Trig Point close by and even if you don’t collect them
the views are just outstanding (On a good day anyway! Less so when
it’s snowing).
