Coed Nyrseri Traditional Cache

This is a nice little woodland walk that you can quite easily spend an hour looking at the surroundings. 

Easily accessible from the main road parking. 

The cache is a small lock and lock box hidden at the base of a tree. The tree is off the path a short way above the path. 

Access can be gained from Tremadog village (SH 563 400), or from the lay-by on the A487T (SH 565 397). The majority of the footpath network is on even ground.

The woodland lies on land that used to be part of the Glaslyn estuary. William Alexander Maddocks acquired and drained this land between 1800 and 1806, as part of his ambitious project to reclaim more than 5,000 acres from the sea, and build the Cob embankment t over the treacherous sands at Traeth Mawr. Maddocks established a tree nursery to supply timber to local ship building yards, and it flourish until management ceased sometime in the 1920's. Today, the woodland which is approximately 10 hectares, still displays tell tail signs from it nursery past - rows of ditches and trees planted in lines.

Good luck
