Geocache Description:

St Winnow Wander is a beautiful walk through some of Cornwall's prettiest inland landscapes - woods, creeks, rivers, ancient buildings and historical footpaths. It is a walk of approximately 5 miles and should take about 3 hours.

There are 11 caches to find and in addition you will walk by the 6 Ethy Woods Ramble Series and the St Winnow Church Cache GCN89T.


Warning: - one short section, about half way around, is on the foreshore and at the peak of high tide is impassable. Please check the tide times HERE

All directions are given assuming you are walking the series in order from 1 to 11 - this is the easiest walk - any uphill bits are done at the beginning and the views are best from this direction.

The walk is all on well marked public footpaths but it can be muddy and wet in places - wellies or substantial walking boots are essential during winter and after rain.

All 11 of the caches are placed within 3 metres of the footpaths and are designed to be easy finds - the walk is the thing.

Tree cover may present problems in some places but the hints should solve any uncertainty.

From Cache #6 carry on along the FC track - these woods are a picture at all times of the year and the views through to the creek are always changing.

The next GZ is close to the Forestry Commission Sign that states that the woods are available for walkers and mountain bikers.

The cache is a camo taped tube tied to the tree at shoulder height - no need to descend but do take care. 

The cache has been placed in accordance with the GAGB FC Peninsular District Guidelines - the woods here are designated as Open Access Land and are NOT on the FC exclusion list.
