Geocache Description:

Changed site for the cache due to severe muggling!!!! Please note new coordinates..... This is number 2 in our new series of filling the gaps in the geocahcing map, using faverote areas of ours around the area.
A container full of bits on a lovely footpath overlooking the wye through the woods!

This is a fantastic walk along the river wye, through the woods from the chainbridge.The present bridge built 1905 to 1906, which takes the main Usk to Abergavenny road over the River Usk; a bridge has been here as far back as the 16th century but was washed away in winter floods in 1690, replaced eventually in 1730 in solid oak and known locally as Pont Kemeys. This bridge in turn was replaced in 1829 by one built by Brown-Lennox of Pontypridd - supported by sturdy chains, hence the name for all bridges on the site since. The next bridge, built by George Palmer of Neath was an iron arch with green painted girders, but still referred to as Chain Bridge 


The cache is on a wooded footpath. You do not have to go more than 2 strides from the footpath to retrieve, and we hope it is in an area that won't be too bramble based through the summer!   Further on there are more caches set some time ago. 

I hope the coordinates are about right but I will upload photo as spoiler from th cache site as some help! 

There is parking just next to the footpath sign. However it is limited to just one car.
