Dooer Stone Traditional Cache

This cache can be approached from two directions, the first of which involves a very steep climb with a round trip of app 1¼ miles. This way takes you up through the woods on a cobbled roadway until you are near the top of the rock and then continues on a well defined (very steep) path to the open moorland. This is a beautiful walk through Dewerstone wood and the sound of birds singing can be heard over the roar of the River Plym below. Parking for this route is at N50° 27.233’ W004° 04.044'.

The easier route follows open moorland from Cadover and is about a 2½ miles round trip. Parking is at N50° 27.931’ W004° 02.292’. The terrain rating is for the woodland route but a rating of 2 would be more suitable for the moorland route.

From the cache site you have an excellent view of the Plym valley below and you can see over to Plymouth Sound.

On top of the main outcrop on Dewerstone Hill is a memorial to N T Carrington, "The Poet of Dartmoor" who died on 2nd September 1830 at 53 years of age.

The cache is a 3 litre container with log book and various items. It is hidden on an outcrop but can be reached in safety.
