Geocache Description:

Erddig Weir

This area is near to Felin Puleston which, 80 years ago, was once a thriving community and had a working mill. Now, just one solitary cottage remains. The weir is one of only a couple of remaining features from the mill. The area is now home to our Countryside Education Centre, with its own community allotment, youth club and forest school area.


We welcome you to explore and learn from Erddig's historic estate, owned by the National Trust, and hope you enjoy your geocaching experiences. The_Westies have very kindly donated the caches to us and we would like to thank them for starting off our geocaching trails around the estate.

The Erddig Country Park (ECP) caches will help you to see more of our beautiful estate and enjoy a day out in the area. The caches are roughly in circular routes to enable shorter walks if desired around the estate.

We have a number of free car parks available for your convenience, which are noted as waypoints.

The_Westies placed a mixture of sizes and types of caches to add variety but most should be relatively straight forward finds.

Be warned some of the route can be very muddy so boots or wellies are recommended. Please be aware that some of our walks lead onto roads so take care of geokids. Livestock is continuously grazed on the estate so please have geodogs on leads!

We hope you enjoy your visit to Erddig.
