Small like-a-film container with logbook, pencil and small item.
Very easy access although little more difficult to find.
The cache has been hidden in the centre of small village called Laleston.
The village lies just two miles from the centre of Bridgend and includes three public houses, The Mackworth Arms (1800’s), The Laleston Inn (1600’s) and the Oystercatcher (1500’s). There is also a hotel and restaurant based at the historic Great House which was built in 1586 for Sir Robert Sidney who later became Earl of Leicester in 1618, right in the centre of the village. The village also boasts a well which was the villager’s main water supply right up till 1928. The village landscape is dominated by the tower of St. David’s church.
"...This village is said to take its Name from a person, called Lalys, a man eminent in the art of masonry, and who was brought from The Holy Land, about the year 1111, by Richard Granville, Lord of Neath: this man is reported to have built several Abbies and Churches, with many Castles, and other considerable works; and afterwards became architect to King Henry the First." (from:A Topographical Dictionary of The Dominion of Wales by Nicholas Carlisle, London, 1811)
Although the cache name is St Davids Church the GZ is outside the church in the open public place.
You can park in several places around the cache. Best car park is just at the ground zero but primary is for local Community Council and for small cars only. Other one at the Post Office.
You can also use the public transport. Bus stop is only 2min walk . (Cardiff-Porthcawl ; Bridgend-Swansea lines, and local others as well) .
Here is more about including virtual tour of St Davids Church, The Parish Of Laleston. (visit link)
EDIT: After information received from Geocacher Mollyjak I have to add his suggestion :
"Warning - This can be a very busy place as the Hall is used regularly by the local Community."
Be stealth please.
If you are Munzee fun you can scan the code hidden in the close area.
Enjoy.
