Jackson's Lane was a through road before the M4 arrived in the mid 80s and cut it off in it's prime. The only traffic now is a rare visit from a farmer, walkers and horseriders.
In the ensuing 25+ years the tarmac has been eroded and overlain with, in places a deep carpet of leaf mould soil. Come and see for yourself the power of Mother Nature reclaiming the land.
The cache can be accessed from one of two directions :
For a quick Cache and Dash, park near the bridge over the motorway. It's a 200 yard walk over three styles along the footpath to the South of the M4.
For a more leisurely walk, and to fully appreciate the lane in it's newfound glory, park your car near the Penyfai Scout Hall (see below) and walk towards Court Coleman. Jackson's Lane starts to the left of the redbrick houses.
NB both accesses can be muddy in the wet season (Jan to Dec) and so boots or wellies are recommended. You will need to ford a little stream if you take the longer walk - it crosses the tarmac road so no real problem underfoot.
Although in a wooded area, the cache is located near an area with less tree cover and so your GPS signal should be OK.
I've marked the cache as unsuitable for wheelchairs as the short route is over styles and the longer one has some steep, if short, hills over mud and broken road surfaces.
