Geocache Description:

A sequence of 5 caches intended to appeal to families, children and school groups who want to begin to explore Kenfig Nature Reserve. There are wonderful displays of wildflowers in the dunes and wetlands which support over 500 species. Please tread carefully & don’t pick them! The walk starts and ends near the car parks.


This is the fourth cache. It's just off the sandy path at the edge of an open area of grassland. The cache is a hidden film canister. Stealth may be needed. Sorry about the nettles!

The nearby open area is a good example of species-rich dune grassland. It is packed full of interesting wild flowers including several species of orchid. We manage it by mowing once in the autumn and removing all the clippings to keep the soil thin and sandy which is best for the sand-loving wild flowers.

Rabbits graze the area in small numbers too.

The clippings from mowing are piled quite near this cache and over several years stinging nettles have thrived on the richer damp soil next to the heap.
