Geocache Description:

Off the track on the left (when heading uphill towards beacon) after a big outcrop of heather. Can be found as part of a walk up to the Beacon or can be done as a cache and dash.


The name for this cache was inspired by Boaty McBoatface.

Dunkery Beacon at the summit of Dunkery Hill is the highest natural point in Exmoor National Park and in Somerset.The sandstone hill rises to 1,705 feet (520 m) and provides views over the surrounding moorland, the Bristol Channel and hills up to 86 miles (138 km) away. The site has been visited by humans since the Bronze Age, and contains several burial mounds in the form of cairns and bowl barrows. Sweetworthy on the lower slopes is the site of two Iron Age hill forts or enclosures and a deserted medieval settlement. The hill is part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest and National nature reserve. It was in private ownership until the 20th century, when it was donated to the National Trust by Sir Thomas Acland, Colonel Wiggin and Allan Hughes; a stone cairn was erected at the summit to commemorate the event.

Bring your own pen.
