Geocache Description:

This is a 2 Part Multicache Near Morchard Bishop, Devon.
The First Part is a Walk in the Woods with the Final Cache approx a 2 Mile drive.

Just to Explain this cache is to replace my original "MORCHARD WOOD" Cache which got Stolen.

Slap Bang in the Centre of The 2 Moors Way,The First Part is a clue which can be found on Memorial to Rev Peter Comyns a Previous Owner of the Land, The Memorial is in an Odd Place completely off the Regular Tracks, I have found it several Times by Accident with My Dog and Missed just as many times.The Nearby Pub (London Inn) has also got some details of 2 x Canadian Halifax Bombers that collided here Losing all of their 13 Airmen towards the end of WW2.
It's a Lovely place to Walk in all Seasons due to Flora & Fauna and The Local Wildlife.
The Lower Path can be Quite Muddy so you may want to wear some Waterproof Boots.
