Geocache Description:

The Trefforest Trekker

A journey which takes you through a pleasant 3 mile walk over the hills above Trefforest, over to Church Village, Tonteg and back. Expect some great views across the valleys as you endeavor to tackle a selection of interesting Geocaches!

The Series:

Terrain varies from concrete roads, sometimes muddy country paths, fields and pavements. There are some steep hills along the way. Please see Difficulty/Terrain ratings for each cache. If you are doing the whole series the trek should take around 1 to 2 hours to complete depending on your pace.

All these caches can be done as standalone or in order. We suggest you start at number 1 but it's up to you. We hope you enjoy the trail!

Location:

A lovely, rarely used, footpath winds it's way up to the top field. Notice the stream running down the valley and it's red coloured rocks. The Path can be either dry, muddy in places or muddy. It's very muddy in winter.

**Gate is a little bit tricky to open. Open lock thing and lift the gate a little bit. ***
