Geocache Description:

A cache welcoming you to the Hightown road entrance to Cavehill country park. The walk to the peak from here affords some of the most spectacular views over Belfast and the surrounding areas.


The walk up cavehill from this carpark is very pleasant, and can be done in 25-40 minutes depending on fitness. It is not too arduous and has a gravel path the whole way.

The cache is a  micro-sized camo, you will require your own pen/pencil to sign and please only use one line when logging. Please reposition the cache very carefully when replacing. The car park is often busy with people driving in and out so please be subtle if muggles are about. Enjoy!

About Cavehill:

Cavehill, historically known as Ben Madigan (from Irish: Beann Mhadagáin), is a basaltic hill overlooking the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland. It forms part of the southeastern border of the Antrim Plateau. It is distinguished by its famous 'Napoleon's Nose', a basaltic outcrop which resembles the profile of the famous emperor Napoleon. All of Belfast can be seen from its peak, as can the Isle of Man and Scotland on clear days.

Cavehill is thought to be the inspiration for Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Swift imagined that the Cavehill resembled the shape of a sleeping giant safeguarding the city.
