Geocache Description:


This cache was placed to mark the end of a fantastic camping holiday at Caerfai. It is a small tub with a few swappables in.

 

Caerfai is a beautiful rocky cove overlooking St Brides bay at high tide, but has golden sands and rock pools to explore at low tide. It's particularly distinctive for its purple and pink hues of the sandstone in the cliffs which has been used to build and repair St Davids cathedral. 

 

Caerfai has been given the blue award for excellent bathing water quality and is part of Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation and is also a designated Site of Special Interest. It has won the Seaside Award (rural) 2016, and the Green Coast Award 2016.

 

Caerfai is abundant with wildlife. While exploring, keep a look out for anemones, ravens, wall brown butterflies, oystercatchers, sea campions, wedge shells, the common lizard, herring gulls, lesser black-backed gulls, bloody-nose beetles and gannets; which are out patrolling St Brides bay from the massive colony over on Grassholm island. 

 

Access to the beach is down a steep winding path, however this cache is placed in the car park on the top, a short drive from the Visitor Centre . There is a circular coastal path from here to the right, which leads you passed St Nons, you can leave the path here and walk into town, or carry on to Porthclais harbour. Walking back up the road to St Davids town from there.
