Geocache Description:

Located at Dunster Station on the West Somerset Railway.

Hidden with the kind permission of the WSR and Dunster Station Staff.

Cache is named after the nickname of the WSR from the early days of preservation when the volunteers struggled to keep the railway going.

I volunteer on the Railway (Guard and Diesel Driver) so will be looking out for you!

Cache is a clip top box with some WSR items for FTF and swag to swap.

This cache is one of a series of caches at stations on the West Somerset Railway. Total in series = 10. (GC759AW :Watchet is a different CO)

History of Dunster Station

Dunster Station stands in the area known as Dunster Marsh (which sounds more salubrious than the original name of Rotten Row by which it was known before the Railway came). It is a five minute walk to Dunster Beach and along the way walkers may be able to make out the sunken area of land which marks the site of the Medieval Port of Dunster. The station building may well look familiar to those with a model railway as Hornby produced a 4mm scale model for many years. Opposite it is the goods shed and yard which are now home to the West Somerset Railway’s Permanent Way department and houses supplies of track and equipment for maintaining the bridges, stations and buildings on the railway as well as equipment for dealing with over 40 miles of vegetation which needs attention. The goods shed itself is reputed to be haunted.

Parking and refreshments are available at the station.

Please ensure the cache remains well hidden due to the high level of muggle activity.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO ON TO OR CROSS THE RAILWAY LINE TO ACCESS THIS CACHE, PLEASE DO NOT TRESPASS ON THE RAILWAY LINE.
