Geocache Description:

I decided on a nice local beauty spot for my first cache with something of personal meaning to myself. The cache is located near to the coastal footpath at Connah's Quay docks. Access to the cache is good with little terrain.

You are looking for a traditional click and lock container.The cache contains a logbook, pencil and Geo goodies to swap. The cache is away from the dockside so little cachers will be ok. Be aware of fishing muggles on approach to the cache location.

CONNAH'S QUAY- A BRIEF HISTORY

The name Connah’s Quay is believed to have to come from a former landlord of "The Old Quay House", a public house which still lies on the docks in what is now the west side of the town. Other's state that Connah was a man who owned a chandlery store on the docks. The docks became known as "Connah's Quay" some time after the 1860s. It has also been known, to some people, that Connah's Quay had got its name from a lady called Mary Connah. When people crossed the River Dee from places opposite, such as Parkgate or Neston, they would ask, "Could you take me to Connah's Quay," because Mary Connah used to own the Dock. The dock itself was connected by the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway to the nearby town of Buckley, chiefly to transport fire-clay and pottery products. It grew from this small port which included a shipyard and now encompasses the former hamlets of Wepre, Kelsterton and Golftyn. Happy Caching!!!
