Geocache Description:

A 670ml Clip top plastic box, Hidden on a nature trail.

This is the fifth of a series of caches to be hidden in and around The Celtic Manor Resort, as a celebration of the venue playing host to the Ryder Cup in 2010. The biggest event in golf and the world's 3rd biggest sporting event.

This Cache has been set to allow Geocachers explore a nature trail that is home lots of butterflies during the spring and summer months.

This nature trail acts as a link between the woodland trails in the Coldra Wood and the Usk Valley Walk long distance footpath, which travels from Caerleon to Brecon along the course of the river Usk.

The Nature path is way marked with a yellow band on the Celtic Trails sign posts, as it exits the Coldra Wood the nature trail crosses into a small valley which has a underground stream and small reservoir.

The water from the reservoir is used to provide water for the surrounding golf courses during dryer months of the year. The overflow of water slowly makes its way down hill to the Reens of the nearby Newport Wetlands, which are a nationally important nature reserve.

The banks either side of the path have lots of bramble and stinging nettles which in the spring and summer months turn the trail into a Butterfly Avenue and hence the cache name.

You are looking for a 670ml plastic clip-top box with a Geocaching sticker on it. It contains items to trade and a log book and pen.

The Cache site can been seen easily from the golf couse so be vigilant for geomuggles!
