Llandyfeisant Church - Love Llandeilo 2 Traditional Cache

The second of five caches that make a nice circular walk around Llandeilo, taking in Castle Woods, Llandyfeisant Church and the town itself. Park at the suggest parking area and make your way to Penlan Park for the first cache. General Directions to the next cache in the series can be found in the cache descriptions. The walk is roughly 2.5 miles and shouldn't take more than an hour/p>

Nestled below the Castle Woods nature reserve at Dinefwr, Llandeilo, is the beautiful and secluded Llandyfeisant Church. For much of its life it depended on the generosity of the family of the estate, and was the family church of the Dynevors. It closed as a parish church in 1961 as numbers attending services from the tiny parish were so low, and the building itself in a state of disrepair.

Surrounding the church building, the graveyard remains a secluded and sylvan spot, a haven for wildlife and a peaceful location for rest and contemplation by its human visitors. The inscriptions on the many gravestones have been compiled, and it is notable that the majority of the people were involved directly or indirectly with the estate. As well as members of the Dynevor family, the stones record the faithful service over many decades of servants to the family, their burial paid for by their employers.

The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales manage the graveyard for wildlife as well as for visitors.

The cache is a small camoflauged nano.  Please note that the cache is just off the main path near where you can have a well earned sit down, and the Cache is not hidden on the church itself, the walls or the gravestones.  GPS is patchy due to tree cover so you may need to check the hint.
