Beschrijving EN
Walter Branscombe was Bishop of Exeter in the thirteenth century. One of his admirable traits was that he visited his flock no matter of their remoteness. On one summer's eve accompanied by his servant he was returning from once such a visit on the north eastern side of Dartmoor. The day had been long and both travellers were becoming very tired and hungry. Exhaustedly they crossed Corn Ridge when out of the blue (literally) a stranger appeared. Remarking on their tired appearance he offered them some nourishment in the form of bread and cheese. The unsuspecting Bishop eagerly accepted the meal and reached out for the tasty morsels. Luckily the Bishop's servant noticed a glimpse of cloven hoofs underneath the strangers long black coat. Without hesitation the servant dashed the food from his masters hand just as he was about to take the first bite. The loaf flew in one direction and the cheese in the other. As quickly as the stranger appeared he vanished and all that was left was a pungent smell of sulphur and two outcrops of rocks where the loaf and cheese had landed. To this day the petrified meal can be seen on the top of Corn Ridge - known as Branscombe's Loaf and Cheese.

This cache is about 200m away from the Loaf itself, which is a protected site according to Natural England, on an area of interestingly springy bog! Try jumping up and down and feel the ground shake.

There should be no need to traverse any ground inside the military ranges. Come prepared for Dartmoor's changeable weather.

ENJOY THE VIEWS FROM THE LOAF
