Geocache Description:

Located off the Old Highway in Colwyn Bay within the Upper Dingle managed woodland area. Gravelled pathways lead your way through the woodland towards the final cache area located in undergrowth.

Located just off the Old Highway, an old Roman road where Roman coins have been found over the years, lies this tranquil woodland, Upper Dingle.

The Upper Dingle has been transformed by the Conwy Countryside Service (I remember playing in here as a kid with it all overgrown as wasteground) with paths and benches and places to stop and just watch time and nature go by. Trees varying from the mighty oak, sycamore, holly and beech, plants such as bluebells and lesser celandine and you maybe lucky to spot a woodpecker or two.

Nearest parking is located at N53 17.396 W3 43.140 from where you can cross the road and walk down to the site entrance at N53 17.343 W3 43.182. Then you can take either path (it goes in a big circle) to head towards the cache.

The cache is hidden in a camo bag and the foliage from the trees will make it tricky to locate. A top tip would be to search on the INSIDE of the path routes. I've averaged out five separate readings so best of luck!
