We have placed two caches along Aberporth to Tresaith coastal path
and because they are just over half a mile apart we have logged
them separately.
You can approach the cache from the Tresaith footpath, but as
parking is very limited here we suggest you approach it from the
Aberporth side, passing the Aberporth Cache on your way.
Please keep to the path and wear appropriate footwear during wet
seasons as path can get muddy.

Cache
There are several versions of the meaning of Tresaith, one being an
abbreviation of Traeth Saith – the beach of the seven, the
saith being the river that runs through here.
This river Saith reaches the beach after cascading 20 metres from
the cliff above.
It is quite a spectacular waterfall and can be seen from the cache
site.
Legend says that a king of Ireland and his seven daughters were
once shipwrecked here.
His seven daughters became troublesome and unable to control them
he boarded them onto a boat with neither sails nor oars and set
them adrift.
But these maidens were resourceful and they scrambled ashore at
Penbryn, the next hamlet east of here.
Once ashore they told their pitiful story at a house called
Llanborth where they were given food and shelter.
The news of their plight got around the local farms and farmers
sons fell in love with them.
They married the seven farmer’s sons and took possession of
the seven best farms in the district.
It is said that the name of each of these farm names all ended in
‘an’.
