Geocache Description:

Stunning views along the Wye Valley from beautiful hay meadows.

I often walk up here with Bob on summer evenings, as when the sun is out it's a great place to be. You can chose to walk up from Redbrook to get the heart pumping, or take a more leisurely stroll from Penallt where you can also enjoy the local hostelry. Either way, I would recommend you walk the signed loop that this cache has been placed on. There are information boards dotted around the area starting at Pentwyn Farm. Look out for sparrowhawks, green woodpeckers, some cheeky hebridean sheep and plenty of rabbits.
The huge gates to keep deer from the 1000's of newly planted trees below GZ give the cache it's name
