12. The Welsh Trail - National Parks Traditional Cache

A relatively easy 5km circular walk taking in various terrains and views.  Good walking boots/shoes will be needed as some patches can be muddy (especially between Caches 6 to 10).  Sorry, not suitable for wheel chairs or strollers as there are many styles.  Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads as the walk takes you through fields which are often used for livestock.

Originally set up for the South Wales Geocachers' 'All Things Welsh' Camp 2016 this series takes a little stroll around Llandovery and surrounding area whilst learning a little more about Wales and local history.  Have Fun!
