A series of six regular caches plus a Bonus cache on a circular walk around/on Ryers Down, Gower.
Two of the caches contain one half of the Bonus cache coordinates, both are required to find the Bonus.

All of the caches are placed no more than a few steps off the paths so no need to bushwhack, though good footwear is recommended as the paths can get muddy in places.

Ryers Down is situated at the north western end of Gower, located immediately to the north of the small settlement of Burry Green. Habitats to be found on Ryer’s Down include dry heath, which is developing due to current management, and a small area of wet heath. There are nine sites of archaeological interest on Ryer’s Down including two possible sites of medieval long houses, a quarry, medieval banks and ditches. There are several large irregular depressions with other smaller hollows around the hillside. Although the exact date is not known for definite, these are likely to be old quarrying sites. The down is also home to the Great green bush-cricket (Tettigonia viridissima) which is Britain’s largest bush cricket, measuring up to 5cm.


The caches have been placed with the kind permission of the National Trust
