The ladybird caches

A series of 19 caches around the beautiful villages of Gwernaffield and Pantymwyn set as a joint effort between Petchys, Ywaunhillers and The_peacocks.

Look for the ladybirds – they may even help you. Many of the caches ended up having links to songs – this didn't start intentionally but it just ended up that way!

Many can be done individually and even a few as drive-bys, but we hope you enjoy a nice walk of around 2-3 hours (depending on how long you spend finding the caches!). Parking can be found in many locations, but we recommend you park and start by the park in the village of Gwernaffield. That way, you should start with number 1.

This cache meets the Urban Placement Guidelines

Welcome back to the village of Gwernaffield. This village dates from the 15th Century and the name seems to be a mixture of Welsh with gwern meaning ‘alder grove’ and the Old English word feld meaning ‘cultivated arable land’, reflecting its rural borderland location.
