The Cache
The cache itself should be a relatively straight forward find -
the coordinates will bring you to a location as described in the
cache's name, with several possible hiding places. Use your common
sense and the cache will soon be in your hands.
I would say that this cache is barely wheelchair accessible if
approached from the nearby camping site - but help would probably
be needed as the field is relatively rough, hence 1.5 terrain.
Since the field is regularly used to house livestock (cows or
sheep, depending on the season), please replace the container
carefully.
The cache is placed with the kind permission of the land
owner who is aware of its location near this public right of
way.
Kennextone Farmhouse
Today, Kennextone Camping and Caravan Park is a popular caravan
and camping site on the Gower and is the official camping site for
the 2011 Mega Wales Geocaching event. The farm itself however is
also a working farm has had a very interesting history.
The current farm house is a relatively recent addition having
been built in 1939. The original farm house however dated back to
1610 and was considered a valuable historic building, being a fine
example of the old Welsh Long House style of building, originally
consisted of just a small parlour and a loft room.
This building was donated by its owners to the St Fagans:National
History Museum and in 1951 painstaking work to dismantle the
original farmhouse brick by brick was undertaken. By 1955, the
building had been re-erected in the museum and today forms one of
its key exhibits.
