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 third cache. It's just off the path, under a gooseberry bush with a fantastic view over the dunes. The cache is buried. Stealth may be needed.
All the sand on the reserve has been blown inland from the beach over hundreds of years. This type of duneland is known as a hind-shore dune system. Strong winds and huge amounts of sand on the beach are required to form a large dune system and Kenfig has plenty of both; it is one of the largest hind-shore dune systems in Europe. If you look closely at the sand it is full of fragments of sea shells
