Geocache Description:

A nice walk from Borth-y Gest

Stop in Borth-y-Gest and enjoy a nice walk to our cache. It is in a sealed box and contains nice toys for kids as we have 5 of our own.

The best way to the path is past the Post Office in Borth-y-Gest, up the hill and take the path to your right before the school.

Dafydd y Garreg Wen is a traditional Welsh air and folk song.

David Owen, the famous blind harper and composer, lived near Porthmadog in Caernarfonshire, Wales in the first half of the 18th century, who known locally as Dafydd y Garreg Wen, (English: David of the White Rock). The epithet Y Garreg Wen (English: The White Rock) was the name of the farm near Morfa Bychan in which he lived.

Owen is also well known for his air Codiad yr Ehedydd (English: Rising of the lark).

Tradition has it that as Owen lay on his death bed, he called for his harp and composed the haunting air. He died at the age of 29.

Fantastic views when you reach it.
