Bridging the Clyst Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

wheelybarrow: Been out to visit the site today and this one has definately gone again - shame as it is a beautiful walk out to it - lots of snowdrops and other flowers out along the track today. Will maybe put another cache near here at some point. Thanks to all who have visited.

Geocache Description:

Set in the heart of the Clyst Valley, this cache was originally our puzzle cache 'Deactivate' but we have decided to now make it a traditional as it's such a lovely spot and the puzzle ran it's course.

Clyst Valley is the area around the River Clyst, just east of Exeter consisting of several small villages including Clyst St. Mary, Sowton, Clyst Honiton and Clyst St. George.

The cache is situated near to an old bridge that spans the River Clyst where some fascinating cobbled stones can be seen beneath the water.

There are two ways to access the cache, either through fields (usually cattle) or along the lane from the village of Sowton.

The large building that can be seen from near the cache site is Bishop's Court. It is now a privately owned residence, however it has a long history and in medieval times was the country palace for the Bishops of Exeter.
