Here is our list of eight great National Trust locations to go geocaching in Northern Ireland.
5. Florence Court, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh
This beautiful Georgian mansion is surrounded by a lush forest park containing 10 miles of trails to amble or cycle along. The most notable feature in the gardens is the magnificent Irish Yew Tree, which was discovered by a local farmer in 1767. Since this type of tree can only be bred from cuttings, this tree is considered the forefather of almost all Irish Yews worldwide and is often referred to as the ‘Original Irish Yew.’
